Judy, the strawberries here are still being picked. Tomatoes are marble sized and the corn is maybe knee high... so we're talking another 1 - 2 months. My health doesn't allow me to do a high maintenance garden, which is why I've kept mine very minimal as for hoeing, weeding, etc. I have coronary artery disease, have had a heart attack, have 2 stents, and just don't have the stamina needed to tend a big garden. I'm also allergic to the sun so break out in blisters that stick around for over a week if I'm out in it for more than a few minutes a day. I have 3 on my nose right now from when my granddd was here yet.

Dh is only home a day or 2 on weekends, so he doesn't have time to work a garden or we'd have a bigger one ourselves. I'd like to be able to offer them their produce, but that would mean either letting them do it or hiring someone else to come in for it, and I really don't like either idea a whole lot. I guess I'm just not feeling a lot of neighborly love for them given our history with them. I know that's not real nice, yet I don't expect that they'd appreciate the gesture anyway... because they have this sense of entitlement that would prevent that.
