Last Spring we decided to become more connected with nature. My brother basically has the produce section of HEB growing in his backyard so I figured with his advice...and Google -- how hard could it be? Keep in mind, I am not a fan of gardening and in no way, shape or form have a green thumb.
So $400 later, we had 2 raised gardens filled with a mixture of soil, manure, sand....you know - all the crap my brother told us to buy. String was used to create our 1x1 ft. square plots and seeds were planted. All giddy and excited at our great job, we looked to the future of being able to supply our fridge in the upcoming months with green onions, green beans, cucumber, tomato, yellow squash, green peppers, carrots, radish, lettuce, spinach - just to name a few.
Fast forward to present day.....
We are only allowed to eat green peppers and (surprise!) the occasional red pepper for breakfast, lunch and dinner to make up for the $400 we 'invested' (aka wasted) last Spring in our attempt to grow our own food.
Peppers anyone?
