I had tears in my eyes, ROTFLOL, your story was so funny I read it out loud to my DH, who said he thought you may be making it up, but after reading the rest of the post to your thread we both know that you have a true, but very funny sense of humor about your garden. We're in our 2nd year of gardening and I'm" proud" to say I'm getting "very little" from the garden as far as vegetables I planted, but I am getting a few of this and a few of that. Example: 8 tomatoe plants, so far I have had 3 little tomatoes, to eat, green bean bushes, I have 8 total, I think I picked 2 handfuls of beans, not enough to even boil the water to cook any, I chopped them fresh into a salad, the different types of peppers, I had little ones mature too soon, so i had a handful to chop into salads, yes, I even grew my own lettuce too, and between the itty bit of stuff I got out of the garden, we were able to have a nice salad each nite for dinner, without the tomatoes, but here again, I'm lucky I guess, I at least got something out of my plantings. And I'm going to try even harder on the fall garden, and get an early start, as soon as I feel the temps going back down I'll be out there, either planting by seed, or else doing the HD thing and putting already rooted plantings in, I want a garden, and fresh vegetables. I will keep trying till I have no more in me, and yes, I have a titanium plate in my cervical spine,( c-3 through c7, with 8 screws) so doing what I love to do can be painful, I still get enjoyment out of it. And you've made my day after reading your story. Keep up the good work, and keep us all posted, you'll get it right sooner or later, the fun is in trying!! And it keeps us doing things, that if you quit now, you'll never do it again :) see my pics of the bounty LOL
