I don't mean to sound like a smart *ss or anything but have you ever 
considered living in a more hospitable area for gardening  -- like 
the Gobi desert or Beaumont or something?  Gardening, even in raised 
beds, sounds like a challenge.  How do you do it?  I know you must 
garden there because you have a relative who tells brags on you a 
lot.  

I'm not going to complain about the soil here ever again, or at least 
not until the next time I plant something.
