Hubby endorsing WSing

16 years ago

Yesterday Wayne went to the grocery store,while waiting in line,,the lady behind him,had about 50 packs of seeds,he said to her,"Ah, some one is going to be busy"she laughed and told him her garden lot is bigger than her house,they can every thing,and seeds are not cheep.

He asked her if she ever heard of the Garden Web, seed trading,"Oh my, no" she says,so he proceeds to tell her all about how you can trade seeds,and get some really cool ones,some will even help you out if you are new,that he wanted some tomato seeds last year,and so many sent in tomato seeds for him.

She was very excited to hear this, then Wayne asked her if she WSed any of her seeds, says she,"What is WS?So he tells her all about WSing,she was very impressed,and said she was going to go home and look us up.

Way to go Wayne,pretty cool,eh.

I thought my hubby was finally getting into the WSing until last nite after supper.....I commented to him that he really needed to cut back on his eating, his buttons were gapping open on his shirts, his knees would feel better if he dropped a few pounds, and (my words I wish I'd never said) he needs to realize that enough is enough.

Without blinking, he replied "and let's talk about your milk jug collection in the garage, when is enough going to be enough"...(oh, and he's not wearing a big smile on his face at this moment-ouch).

My smart comeback was: "Gee, I don't know, I never thought about it."

What in heavens name possessed him to stoop that low???? Maybe I need to make him some cake or cookies to go with his supper tonite????

nbacres - those tomatoes, beans, peas, celery, lettuce and everything you will be growing to eat in all those jugs are only there to help your hubby feel healthier and happier :) Plus your winter sowing free jugs will save a fortune on a new wardrobe. Hubby won't need one once he has all that fresh food to eat - see, you are only HELPING :)

Wayne is a very smart man. My hubby has lived with the gardening obsession for many years. He is very proud to that is my obsession, just like I'm proud of his music and ability to tinker with cars (that never seem to get fixed :)
He frequently tells folks that gardening can be *almost* free.

That's fabulous. I think it took Steve at least four or five years before I actually HEARD him tell someone about WS, of course he said he talked about it with other people, but being a witness is very confirming, lol.

WOw that is great! He sounds like a keeper. He must see how excited you get about ws'ing!

Yesterday my hubby left out an empty container. I picked it up and said yeah a new container. He then said he was saving it for me. He is helping! I was so happy, he has no idea how thoughtful that was! Better than giving me chocolates or anything else :)

My neighbor's husband asked if I had anything to TAKE to the dump yesterday so I said I had a couple bags of trash/garbage. Then I asked if I could go with him to the dump. He asked why. I said I wanted to snag some milk/spring water jugs out of the recycle bin. He laughed but said I could go with him.

When we got there, he parked the car right beside the recycle bin and proceeded to carry all the trash to the drop-off while I stood gathering the cleanest jugs I could find in the bin. When he'd finished, he walked over and began to pick out jugs from the other side and scrutinize the pile for "good" jugs.

He hates yardwork and thinks gardening is a waste of time...but he picked jugs out of the recycle bin for me. I suppose it doesn't hurt that I'm growing some of these perennials for his daughter but it was still nice of him to help/enable the addict.

Hey, he could have asked her to follow him home so you could show and tell her what WS is all about. Hey, with all those seeds she bought, I bet there was something you might have wanted to trade her for. LOL!

I'm hoping that all I have planted will be successful so I'll convince my husband WS works and I'll get him interested in same hobby.
