Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 20, 2013

no, she’s telling you, you can’t predict how “mother nature” will intervene…

You can do everything right and still fail – that’s life

Wouldn’t an almanac help?

Gene looks so angry in the last image.

The old sports adage: “There’s always next year.”

Gene looks more like a dog than a human.

I like the goatee. He looks sorta hippie-ish.

Wheee! GoComics just came back on! Haven’t been able to reach till almost 11:00 CST!

The beard is probably meant to give a resemblance to Young Arlo, who has been depicted dozens of times that way.

Hmm, if it really was “too much rain”, they should maybe be thinking drainage, adding a ton of sand…

I can relate. Although I like the tomatoes from my own garden, I really have never gotten my money out of them for one reason or another.

If the critters are stealing too many things, snap a clamshell around a growing tomato or apple on the tree, the kind that produce comes from the grocery store in—with airholes already built in for drainage in case of rain.

Set aside 1/3 for the bugs, 1/3 for the animals, 1/3 for disease, 1/3 for weather, and you get what’s left.

Strange weather this year in the south. My 80 year old father has enjoyed magnificent tomato production for 50 straight years, but this year the combination of wet and cool weather in Tennessee wiped out his crop.

Wow… Not only is his wife beautiful, she’s smart too…
