Glad I have a sense of humor

[Silentrunning]

Gardening loves to test me at so many levels. I keep reading book after book on gardening methods. Evidently my garden isn’t reading the same books! I have prepared the soil with composted manure, rotted wood shavings and anything else around here that didn’t move. I have my irrigation system in and ready to go during the dry season. Four weeks ago I planted a row of Swiss Chard and a row of turnips. To date I have one turnip sprouting and zero Swiss chard. Three weeks ago I cleaned out a couple of crooked neck gourds I had dried for bird houses and threw the seeds over the back fence for the critters. You guessed it - there are dozens of gourd plants sprouting outside my horse fence. I think maybe I should try macrame but I would probably hang myself accidently.

The best tool a gardener has is a good sense of humor! You are well prepared . . . .
You may have gotten bad seed with the turnips and chard. Try tossing some turnip seed and chard seed over the fence--you may get a bumper crop!

You should never chuck your gourd, squash seeds or you will end up having a gourd/squash bootsale! Sometimes, we all laugh at ourselves, success or failures .. Look at the funny side of life makes life much more interesting and fun!

Er.. What was I talking about?!

I bet not one of us would ever be good at poker faces even though we are constantly given surprises
