Theres nothing you can do other then supervise, which defeats the point. I would imagine earlier integration would prevent this from being a problem. Hopefully others can learn from this. Two different people how much of this is wrong and how much of it is just different

I may be single but on a list of 10. I bet you can guess who would be at the top of Thank God I am NOT married to him

Yes there are more than one way of doing things. Your way might just might not be the only right way of doing things (except in YOUR eyes)

I also water the heck out of them ONCE a week. I have a 2 gal spray can with the spray attachment off. I count to 20 at a fast beat for every one. I timed it at 8 secs.



Once I was hanging up clothes for my 90+yr old mom while she and dad sat on the porch watching me. Mom said, LAWRENCE, do you see the way hes hanging those pants? Wall, dad said blame it, you knew good nd well that hed screw it up when you asked him to do it. I said, Ya know, I think, when I get old, IF I can find somebody willing to help ME when I need it, Ill likely keep my mouth shut about the way they do it.
Uh... maybe it's the bone meal. Blossom-end-rot is due to a calcium deficiency in the soil. Still it sounds like a good spray, that would help with fungal infections, nutrients, insects etc. Does it keep the horworms off?

As far as your wife goes... keep in mind that she has put up with your BS for years. I used to often be unhappy about how my wife cut my hair... she solved that problem... told me to get someone else. I solved that problem... it hasn't been cut in 2 1/2 years.

Big difference between someone truly making an effort to pick up the slack when needed and not quite getting it "right" vs. someone who does something fast and begrudgingly -knowing- full well they're not doing a good job of it..

.. just saying...

I never let anyone else do anything. They need so much Training and Hand-holding that it's far easier to get up and do it myself. I've been very ill once last year, hardly ate for 2wks and I still got up and did what was needed. Would of ended up worse if I had someone else "help" than just neglected them!!
