LOL Blanche
I put a post in my "conversations" blog earlier. I was canning today which means I basically work through until it's done. Unfortunately I'll have more in a day or two as that was only half of the tomatoes.

Bel, are you there? No post in two days, have you strangled Carl and gone
to jail? No, Bel, don't do it! You won't have a laptop in the hoosegow! It's not like Martha Stewart or something, I know she made it seem glamorous with the poncho and all, but you don't want to go there.

All in all it's pretty funny to me. I have a strange sense of humor and it's just Carl.

We live in a town of less than 3000 nobody every comes here except Ted Nugent and it's not close enough to hunting season yet for that. I think he is just trying to get out of having to can them all!

Actually it kind of cracks me up. Carl and I have our own kind of relationship and stuff like this is all in a day, it also gives me the right to say I AM RIGHT!!!

bel,
has it ever occurred to you that he might just want to raise a few rotten tomatoes to throw them at someone? Is there gonna be some big politician in town soon?

This is just us. I find most of it humorous. Carl is Carl and I would not trade a single minute. I am so happy just to have him here to be a pain in my butt this year, that none of it bothers me. I threaten to hurt him, he laughs at me.

Bel, I got the feeling that all of this griping was said with love
You're actually bragging a little, aren't you? You got a good man and you know it! Same with M, he's involved in everything that we do, all the decisions, and I'd rather have that than someone who didn't care at all. I guess we both have to find a middle ground.

the garden actually puts food in the house and is much too big for me to do everything alone. Carl helps with the weeding, picking and canning. Otherwise he would be the one cooking dinner and doing laundry because I could not keep up on my own. BUT given I married Mr. I know what I am doing, there are points I'd like to take a melon and show him where to put it LOL! He is lucky I have a sense of humor or he would be hurt though!
Honestly, he is a pain the butt but I would not trade a single minute of any of it.

This is something Queen V and I would never argue about. When we moved into our house, she had all these wonderful ideas/plans about gardening and such, the things we would do. I told her we weren't doing anything, but she could do anything she wanted in the yard. It would be her thing and her thing alone. If I don't work, I won't comment.

Bel, this is reminding me of an episode of That 70s Show,
(I don't know if you know it, but the main characters for the Mom and Dad are "Red and Kitty".). Red got laid off and had WAY too much time on his hands so he started fixing things that didn't need to be fixed. The funniest was when he started sawing off the legs to the kitchen table to "level" them. Their table ended up about a foot shorter.
Kitty "broke" the garage door, in order to give him something to do, and leave her kitchen alone. Maybe you should create a diversion?

Bel...now calm down, honey...no more talk of cutting off
People's hangy-down things...OKay?
Sit down at the table tonight with Carl and say, "Carl, you know I love you but I'd really appreciate it if you'd leave my garden alone. After all, Carl, you don't know diddly squat about growing things."

I think this is already payback for making him watch "The Notebook" with me way too many times.

OR...
you could make him hoe and weed his way to your heart, or your pillow. You know, make him do something really nice for you to make up for his grievous and felonious assaults on your melon patch. But if you feel it necessary to punish the good man, make him watch a chic flick marathon: Thelma & Louise, Moonstruck and The Way We Were in one sitting. And drink chamomile tea.
