How does your garden grow?

Ours?...not very well.

We used to have a humble but mentionable vegetable garden. 

We grew tomatoes, beans, cucumber, corn and silver beet.  It was exciting!

We even had visitors to our garden...
 

I use "we" when really it was my husband who looked after the garden.  I'm not sure why he stopped actually.  Maybe I said I could do it.  It's not that hard right?  You just need to water the plants...

I have a very good helper for that.

 

For some reason, the plants didn't want to grow.  I planted the seeds, followed the directions, watered them and then waited...days...weeks...longer than weeks (still watering in between of course)

Nothing sprouted.  Occasionally I thought I did see a tiny green leaf, only to discover it was a weed.  It's a very sad looking garden.

And then one day I stumbled upon THIS! Sabotage!

 

I'd like to think E has everything to do with my inability to be a gardener, but sadly it's not true.

Maybe one day I can perfect the art of gardening.  For now, we continue to water the weeds and dream about nice home-grown vegetables.
