What’s ironic is that I find kelly’s grammar wanting as well!

Right after the note writer rants about making racist remarks, s/he starts in on Asian lillies!

A bit of pot calling the kettle dark grey, don’t you think?

Yeah. I have tomatoes that keep disappearing off my plants and I know it’s squirrels and/or raccoons doing it because I’ve seen them both. I find it kind of funny and sad that this person is steaming mad over some “tomato thief” they’re imagining when it’s probably just varmints.

They do have a problem with slick surfaces though. There’s little funnier than watching a squirrel try to keep a grip on a bird feeder when the overhanging bit he’s used to perching on and stealing from has been coated liberally with Mazola.

i *think* the plea to save the ‘last tomato’ was for the seeds… but, i don’t understand the racial/young people bit..

I found my dog eating blackberries off the plant the other day. I had blamed the birds. Sorry, birds.

Tomato thieves are the scum of the universe. And uber intense tomato growers are to be feared.

I find it strange that a person making a point to not speak ill of other races complains about an Asian lily infestation…

Maybe I should leave a sign like this on my apple tree; my neighbors are constantly taking apples off it in the fall. I sort of figure that them taking them while they are still green is it’s own just desserts though. [It is NOT a Granny Smith tree; they're just not ripe yet. A fact which my neighbors don't seem to know.]

From the handwriting, I think this person may have lived in Montreal at some point.

The Montreal note didn’t complain about stolen tomatoes, but was directed at dogs. Written in both English and French, it went something like,

“Dear dog, please don’t pee on me. The acid in your urine is killing me. Love, the plant”

Kudos to your grandpa for finding a way to actually stymy squirrels; those cute lil’ buggers are resourceful.

When I was growing up, my dad was an avid gardener and I was amazed at how much of it was stolen. One morning I left the house to go to school and saw a woman reach over the fence and pluck a watermelon up and go on her merry way.

Yeah, I had that asian beetle lily infection all up in my “soil” too. Got it in Thailand.
