A couple of satsuma trees will be my next purchase. Just have to

Have you considered growing them as espaliers?
Yes, but I would have to find a place to espalier them. Not a lot of room
left except for the front yard and DW jealously protects her swath of
mowable lawn.

George - IIRC, your wife is an arty type. Why not have her or one of her
arty friends create a sculpture that is different in shape to the ordinary
espalier? Then it's art, not crops!

Oh yes, she is arty, has been all her life and is fifth generation fine
artist in her family. I dare not give her an opportunity to bring more
"junk" home that "might" be converted into a sculpture one day.

I'm tellin'!!!!

She's going to New Orleans on Wednesday for an art educators convention.
While she's gone I'm going to haul off as much of her useless "stuff" as
I can get onto the pickup.

You like sleeping in the garage, do you? Fool!!

One of these days I'm going to be able to get
into my garage and do some of the stuff I like to do, like woodworking.

I'm always telling her that my next wife is NOT going to be an artist.
She just nods her head and agrees with me, knowing full well she will
outlive me by several decades. Her mom will be 100 yo this October.

You know all you women folk belong to that exclusive club - "She who
dies with the most stuff wins."

Oh, puh-LEEZE!
