Forgive me, to the tune of Witchy Woman, I am now thinking wooo hooo  
wimpy womannn.

Just wait until one of your fully fruited maters falls over and upon  
investigation you find a giant cave where the roots used to get  
moisture and nutrients. The only good mole is a gone mole. Now I do  
like the thought of a garlic fence all around the garden as you mused  
in your blog.

Checked out your blog. Well written and interesting. Do you really  
have witch hazel blooming in early November? Heartwood is not far  
north of your latitude and I always figured January.

What does a metals analyst do? Yeah, yeah, analyze metals. Duh. And  
how does a metal become so stinky? Or does your lab handle other stuff?
