I'm Afraid of the Garden


Due to our disaster in gardening last year, we decided to take part in what has become a neighborhood garden in our next door neighbors yard. This garden use to be a playground and so the dirt is very sandy, not what I thought would be good soil. Well I was wrong. This garden has taken root and gone to town. I feel as though it is going to take over like in jack and the bean stock. Every now and then I go out and check on the garden, but I must say I am cautious. You never know what is going to be lurking behind those windy loops of brances and leaves. It brings back memories of the fairy tale theatre flick Rapunzel. That show always creeped me out when they went into the garden to steal the radishes. Perhaps when I go to my own garden I am suffering from some post traumatic stress of something instilled in me when I was a kid, like Rapunzel! Never the less we do have some great crops if anyone is interested. I fear the gigantic squash are going to come eat me!!!

Eating a chiefly vegitable based whole foods diet, I would love to consume any of your excess crops!

Hey, it's fun to see what you're up to. What a beauty of a garden! Way to improve the green thumb. About that Rapunzel show - ya, I saw that too and had nightmares about the prince's watering eyes at the end of the show. What a creepy witch! -Brooke
