The Vegetable of Our Labors



Angie and I tried to raise a garden this year. It was a bit of work, but Angie had a nice little harvest of leafy greens every couple of weeks, and we had some radishes that were borderline county fair-ish. We were really disappointed that none of our tomatoes took off and we had only one solitary carrot. We babied that carrot all summer as if our very lives depended on its prosperity. Well I decided it was about harvest time for our carrot the other day. It was pretty unimpressive once I removed it from the ground, but Mona sure loved it! It gave her something to chew on besides our furniture.

Wow, all that work for a carrot with a split personality!
But if Mona appreciated it, wasn't it worth it?

that is Love- giving your dog the only carrot. derid and i don't really talk about our garden. it is pretty defeating. the only thing that grew was some basil- and it started as a big plant.
