Heh, I enjoy your gardening posts almost as much as your Earthling posts. Coming from Nebraska, I must say it's given me new appreciation for the existence of killing frosts! No matter how bent on world domination my tomatoes and squash may appear to be in August, I always know that come November they will collapse into a heap of withered leaves and stems and be yanked out and deposited gratefully into the compost pile to feed future plots for world domination.
