What is it you ask. It’s my produce I say!
Some months ago I had an item sprouting in the cupboard & sliced off the bit with the sprouting part & planted it. Did all the right things, cared for it, watched the plant grow & it seemed to be doing well. I often excitedly thought of what could be growing underneath. This afternoon I noticed the leaves had disappeared. I tipped the container upside down to produce one lone Purple Congo Spud 😕. ONE!
I expected at least 3-4, hoped for more & this one has actually been in the ground a wee bit too long as it is. I might wait for it to sprout & try again. #GardenFail #NextTime #TryAgain -
@aosmith16 There are some heirlooms that are so vigorous they can outgrow soil diseases, but these are not that vigorous.
More importantly if there’s fusarium in the starter mix, if I plant them I get it in my garden beds, and it doesn't go away. This is also why the plants need to be trashed vs composted.
#GardenFail is an excellent idea! I would have a lot to contribute to that. 😆

The flowers/shrubs in the bed close to my house are mostly dying because I wasn't timely with my rinsing after the house was pressure washed. :blobugh: I'm trying to be optimistic (I can plant new things!) but I had gorgeous phlox, achillea, and sedum growing that I originally planted years ago. I was very attached to that flower bed. 😆

Yesterday in #GardenFail, a hashtag I just made up, I was weeding around a peach tree in the orchard that has been ailing for some time. "I'll just trim the dead wood around that one remaining branch," I thought, and then I snapped that one remaining branch right off. 🙄
And then I ran over the string trimmer with the ATV, so at that point I gave up and came inside to have a stiff drink. 🙄 🙄

It appears the squirrel fancied bulbs for lunch 😫

I watch tv commercials with the sound off. Can someone tell me why this couple is getting turned on by their misshapen veg? #garden #gardenfail #weird #vegan
