The less said about our “garden,” the better. I think, perhaps, vegetables don’t really work well in containers. We’ve lost everything but an extremely ambitious cucumber plant (or was it the squash?) and two tomato plants, which are so small there is no way they will bear fruit before the first frost. Oh, my basil and parsley are okay, but that doesn’t really count, right?
I know we didn’t help the situation along. Pretty much put them in the ground and expected nature to take over, you know, their being plants and all. But it turns out that we have vegetables so domesticated that they can’t survive a mild Connecticut summer on their own. Sure, I always hear that gardeners put a lot of work into their gardens, but people but lots of work into their homes too—I didn’t quite realize it was a do-or-die situation.
Live and learn, you know. So, for those of you who took better care of your plants, if you have extra vegetables, you can give them to me.
