She wouldn't tell me. She said it would defeat the whole purpose.

The thick plottens

 

The vegie plot, that is: cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, shallots - it's amazing what you can fit into an old cut-in-half watertank. This morning I played human bulldozer and, armed with no more than a pickaxe, cleared some ground around the pond. I've never physically worked this hard. I don't know if it's going to shorten my life; it sure shortens my breath.

Time to take a break with my latest book, The Story of the Fly and How it Could Save the World.
