I am feeling pretty sad, because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.

Don't dig up that garden. That's where the bodies are buried.

Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
