This is our third year at our nearby community garden, and this was the year that I was going to Pretend to be a Real Gardener!

It turns out I am a fair weather friend when it comes to the garden plot.

I have learned how to kill the wildflowers (aka "weeds"). and I visited the garden several times a week when it was convenient. But then I stopped visiting in August, when I had to work overtime at the day job.

And now it's just crazy hot! 90°+ days... No air conditioning at work... No air conditioning at home... and sitting in the garden to pull weeds under the blazing sun just isn't going to happen.

sighs. Significant Other is awesome, going out there to water every day!! He brings home loads of zucchini, cucumbers and basil.
