It was well over a month ago that Garden Adventures really got kickin. I was entering the world of Organic Farming and I would just dream about a bountiful harvest.
18 ‘Best Boy’ Tomato plants
3 Cucumber plants
3 Green bean plants
16 Yellow Onions
16 Jalapenos
3 rows of Carrots
And then 2 good size already grown Cherry Tomato & 2 Roma Tomato plants.
Today:
3 Cucumber plants
2 Yellow Onions
1.5 Jalapenos
1 row of Carrots…barely
2 Cherry Tomato plants
At the rate the Plot is going now I will be able to make 1 large Cobb Salad in July. Sad. Its just all too sad. Every other day I made my journey out to see how many Snails and Slugs were rotting away from the Organic “Death” Pellets only to realize someone was still dining in at Cafe Eat All You Want. Defeated I asked the guy at the nursery again and THIS time he says, “Well, I don’t think thats slugs. Maybe its a rabbit or a squirrel. ” Oh beat me with a stick! Rabbits? In North Dallas?
So sure enough we place chicken wire around the plants and our problem stops. SIGH. So with my new move I finally score but I’m still behind. I now understand Mr. Fudd’s frustrations.

hahahaa! So sorry to laugh, but you have to admit… that’s kinda funny. Glad you’re winning now. Onward and upward, Bailsters.

Winning? I’m not winning. The score is 2-bad guys, and only 1-good guys. This weekend I shall check the Plot again and hopefully things are good. Pictures are to come!
