We are Gardeners. We are Not Savages.


Inside the vegetable garden, I have installed the most technologically advanced item to ever enter a garden. Keep in mind, the vegetable garden is no where near complete.  There are no vegetables.  There are no plants.  There are no raised beds.  There are weeds, however.  There is also this.  What is it, both of you ask?  Well, it is simply the greatest invention of this century.  Great minds were consulted.  Weak minds were consulted.  Of course, the weak minds came up with this.  What is it?


We are gardeners.  We are not savages.  Don't live like one.

  1. Maybe if I put one of those up I can get my husband outside to work in the yard more often. Maybe for Father's Day...

  2. Good work!

    I can think of cheaper way of achieving the same goal. Can't you train the girl in the cage to hold your beer?

  3. LOL!!!

    It's important to have sustenance while working in the garden.

  4. I was taking a photo of my H. August Moon one day, and had to put down my beer to do it. That is when it struck me to put the beer bottle in the photo as well :). Seems to me you have your priorities straight.

  6. LOVE IT! I also have those stella glasses, you have to be careful, they can be a bit tipy (no, not tipsy) and you don't want to waste a drop.

  7. Oh I love it! I agree. I often stroll around with a gin and tonic at night....though this is a new addition for that nice cold beer while grass cutting and plant diggin. Very sophisticated, very.

  8. Thank you everyone for the words of encouragement. I have contacted the patent office in Washington, DC and you'll soon see these on the Home Shopping Network. $29.95.

  10. Dear Turling, I have been searching for some time now to reconnect with you and I am so pleased that I have refound you in, what I hope, is sufficient time. Do you have a PROBLEM? Now, think carefully, as denial is not really an option. Take heart, there are professionals running exceedinly good, and discrete clinics [visited, I am told, by all the major Celebrities], where your problem [after all, what is a little drying out?] will be treated in the most sympathetic of manners. You know it makes sense. One Stella Artois today becomes several bottles of vodka tomorrow! I am with you in spirit - and as a new 'Follower'.

  11. Thank you, Dene, that puts me into some pretty esteemed company.

    Edith, my wife tells me I'm a 90% guy, meaning I'm very good at the first 90% of a project, not so good at the last 10%. I've also read that admitting you have a problem is 90% of the solution. All in all, I think I've gone as far as I need to go.
