I'm sure the needy will be well taken care of by your generosity. In
fact, if you are feeling miserly and have a vast hunger for zucchini
I would still be willing to bet that you could feed the hungry in
at least 5 states with your overflow. If it looks like your drought
will end I suggest that you immediately hack down 2 of the 3 plants
(rental of a backhoe highly recommended) unless you are planning to
become one of those official Points of Light by feeding the entire
nation.

Now there's a gift that keeps on giving! That's one of the wickedest
acts I've ever heard of. Makes me wonder if the president of the
herb society would know goatsbeard if she saw it or, if she knew it,
would know the danger.
