I can't be the only one.
Last spring I gathered my carefully chosen seeds, created a sprouting bed of worm-dirt, compost and potting soil. Planted row upon row of flowers; eight varieties of color and bloom. I watered assiduously, weeded and thinned my little plot. Soon I had a dozen or more in each row, strong sprouts. I planted them in my yard with a shovel of their potted dirt all along the edge of my garden.
None bloomed.
However, I have eaten two pounds of butternut squash and four tomatoes from plants I never put down. In all, five pepper plants, one butternut squash, a giant sunflower, and five tomato plants of three varieties have grown to bloom and are beginning to fruit. Suddenly I actually have more of some vegetables than I am wanting to eat. Good for me.
Now, if I could accidentally grow money....
