Howard watered them in and I assured him that all looked well and he would have a good shot at growing a huge pumpkin. He sort of smiled and said, "they are in the ground now, they are gonna do what they are gonna do". I like that approach. It seems a little more stress free. As Howard told me that this may be his last year gardening as he can't hear out of one ear and he just feels tired in general most of the time. I had to remind him that he was just carrying 2 5 gallon buckets of water, tilled the patch himself and he was doing just fine. As I realized my arthritic hip has been bothering me, along with all of the ailments that go along with a 47 year old, that Howard is exactly twice my age. I think that, "their gonna do what their gonna do" attitude may be the secret to a long life. I think I will try it.
