Triumph of hope over experience

Yeah, I'm gonna try it again:

A garden.

Except this year, instead of blowing a bunch of money on plants, I'm getting an earlier start and blowing a bunch of money on seeds and little peat moss cups.

I'm sure I'll regret it, but the lure of fresh tomatoes is too much to resist.

Tomatoes and cucumbers are easy. Give 'em something to climb on and water the dirt and not the plant (to avoid fungus and rot). I also heartily recommend Miracle Gro.

It wasn't the rot or fungus that torpedoed the last garden. It was the *bugs* and and attempt to stay organic.

You can't have one without t'other, it seems to me.
