Maybe you always had tendencies but no space or money before. Now, you’re growing a garden!
There are vegetables galore, everything your ignorant mind could throw at a 4×10′ plot! 6 pea plants, all put in at the same time. 6 sprouting broccoli plants. Three corn plants (one died), a row of onions, a row of beets, three courgette plants, 7 pepper plants (none thrived, four eventually moved to pots, one of which has flowered), 4 tomato plants in two varieties, lettuce.
Who knew courgettes grew 3′ wide? Surely it would have said that on the back of the packet! (Wait, men don’t read the backs of packets)
And to top it all off, your old “poor food” meal, rice & veggies (no meat) has gone from taking about 20 minutes to make, to 45 minutes, has red camargue rice and brown rice, courgettes, carrots and peas from your garden, and duck breasts (because they were on sale).
But damn, is it good to eat yummy food that you’ve grown yourself!
nice haul!
Thanks! We’re fighting caterpillars that are eating the broccoli leaves like it’s goin’ out of style.
I told you, watered down washing up liquid sprayed on ‘em!
Picking them all off was the course of action last night. The husband squished them but I couldn’t do that with the big one and threw it over the garden fence!!
