Thanks! The ones in the back corner that I didn't cut back are already starting to lean out from the center, notice how many of these stems are coming out near the bottom and blooming? Didn't have any of those in prior years, when I didn't prune them. Be brave, go forth and hack!

I did the garden photo walk, and started a thread in Upper Midwest Gardening if you want to see the pictures go to: http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/649222/#new.

Molly, that is one gorgeous squash! Amazing what you can squeeze into a Mustang if you are determined. Best I ever did was take down the top and haul a sofa home. Wouldn't you know, it started raining on the way so I had to driveveryfast LOL. You'll just need to build a long shelf along one side of the orchid house, and voila!, a bar!!

Cece hasn't checked in for a bit, hope she's ok. Kid next door had his ninth birthday yesterday so all evening their yard was teeming with little boys, having a great time, they played flashlight tag after dark, and probably scared themselves silly in the process.

Kooger, lasting a year and a half in that environment was an act of will!! They must lose a lot of good people that way, but the rep. from the Dept. of Labor was right, they do not want anything but simpleminded lockstep clones because they do not question authority. Thinking is not a requirement of those kinds of jobs, because it would jeopardize they way they do business. Why would you stay on a ringing phone line for 100 minutes if not to bill the minutes? I am sure you will be a happier person out of that robot factory. I would have been hard pressed not to give the TL a good poke in the nose.

I always felt the better I treated my employees, the more I got back from them. Even if I wasn't following "company guidelines".
Dock someone a half day's pay because they had to leave early? Puhleeeze! Multimillion dollar company and they need to squeeze some employee who is already giving up 35% of her income for taxes, FICA, and probably footing a child care bill besides? I'd just tell them to leave their time card with me and I'd punch them out at the appropriate time. Anytime I feel down in the dumps and think nobody loves me, I can go back down there, and get as many hugs and warm fuzzies as I need!! And they are not from Upper Management!!

Are we out of rhubarb crisp? Have a peach!!

Got brain freeze, bye everybody ~~~~~~~
