| Delicious, if small, carrots |
Because in my mind, I'm preparing for the apocalypse, I started a garden. It was a mildly successful mixture of the following:
- peppers
- onions
- carrots
- pumpkins
- zucchini
- lettuce
- spinach
- herbs
- tomatoes

In review, there are some lessons learned:
1: Pumpkins and Squash have flowers that bloom for maybe 1.5 hours a day, and if they aren't pollinated, they die
2: BUGS oh the bugs. Everyone is out to eat my vegetables. Constant vigilance is required, inspecting all leaves for eggs or other abnormal signs
3: Spacing is important....one garden is full of tomato plants, zucchini, and some wildflowers. A little too much, with no room to grow
4: Carrots grow to be as big as they can go deep. I guess this made sense in retrospect.
Oh well, there is always fall crop
