confessions of a failure...

after my excitement at the offering of this opportunity to garden, i now have to confess that not much came of it. we planned, we planted, and then we got so wrapped up in our accelerated nursing program that i forgot to stop in to see how our young ones were coming along, and was way too embarrassed by my lack of parenting to inquire about their progress. no information was given, so i had to assume that they were either eaten by the wildlife, as other youngins' in the same patch had been, washed away by all the rains we had this summer, or just left to ruin and rot. sigh. i had such high hopes.

there's always next year.

i had even done some container gardens on the apartment balcony with a few tomato plants. i had easy success with that endeavor a few years ago but again failed miserably this year. they grew and grew and grew and just never bore fruit. "blame it on the rain, yeah, yeah..."

AND, no pictures of the original planting were taken because my digital camera decided to stop working for me.

there's always next year.
