No, it wasn't the goatsbeard recipient on this one. It was the shameful
daughter. I was on the phone with Mother a week or so before they left on
trip and she mentioned needing to thin The Thighs down to a final number
of plants. I had suggested 2. She said 3. Since I hate being
'contradicted', I said, "come to think of it, you should leave at least
six just in case something happens to the plants while you are out of
town." She is going to kill me when she returns to find that the squash
have taken over the garden.
