Virgin Garden(er) Drunk with Infatuation
Back in April I decided my white trash backyard would be the perfect place to start a garden. I thought it would be a way to save money on food, a way to exercise, and a way to encourage healthy eating.
I have never grown anything but a strep culture so it was stretch. But now I’m crushing on this garden like a 12 year old at a Jonas Brothers Concert.
In the beginning…. it was ugly.
But I knew I could change it. It took blood, sweat, a little help from expert relatives and now I have this…
Oh there were dark days… like this cucumber death vigil.
But the plant’s a fighter. It loves me back and wants to please me. I’ve named it Cucumber Erectus.
I fear I am obsessed. My eyes comb longingly through the delicate leaves to discover this budding succulent beauty…
If this garden breaks up with me I’m so boiling a bunny.
OMG. I can’t believe it looks that amazing. You are an inspiration to house-plant-killers everywhere.
That looks amazing! I so hope you don’t have to resort to the bunny thing. Fatal Attraction Garden just doesn’t have the right chi….
The garden looks great!
So what did you do to the cuke to save him?
I don’t know what’s funnier…this:
But now I’m crushing on this garden like a 12 year old at a Jonas Brothers Concert.
or the Fatal Attraction reference.
Your garden looks great! You are fuhreaking hilarious!
I have a bunny stalking my green beans that I would be happy to offer up for boiling!
We were just talking about that Fatal Attraction bunny scene yesterday! For now looks like said bunny is safe….hope it stays that way!
It’s looking really good! Good job!
HRH I too am a house plant killer so this could go very wrong.
MentalP – Garden Chi sounds so cool.
Kel – The cuke just didn’t die so I thought why not put a cage on it just in case and so far still alive!
Mama and Harmony – You guys made my day. THANK YOU!
Zen and Annb – it’s like Bugs Bunny around here and I’m Elmer Fudd or something.
noble – I going to have to stalk your recipes so i know what to do if anything does come to fruition! Thank you for the atta girl.
Wow! Very impressive garden! It gives me hope that I can maybe do this:)
Mark If I can monkeys on crack can.
You crack me up, especially the Jonas Brothers reference.
They make me want to poke someone in the eye-namely my
children.
Your garden looks great!! Awesome job there, Green Thumb
Lady (I couldn’t think of a famous gardener)!
Looking good…except for that one pitiful plant.
I wish I had your green thumbs. The only thing growing in my pitiful back yard is patchy grass and weeds.
Maybe I need some help from outside experts. How does one go about getting on a HGTV garden make-over show?
What an inspiration you are to others!! Planting a garden, no matter how small (even if just herbs in one’s windowsill) is a step in the right direction. So great of you to just take action and do that. So awesome!!
Just wait until you taste the fruits of your labor (literally!), you’ll see how food really tastes! Keep is posted.
