A mere three days ago I was invited to join Lyndsey for an afternoon of pesto making. But before any delicious pesto could be made, the basil had to be harvested. I can attest that there are "sap" bugs on the tomatoes, butterflies that dive bomb your face, wasps that are resistant to floods of water, and spiders lurking around every green leaf. Not to mention my "war wounds" have needed a steady supply of benedryl since said experience. <br /><br />This garden is no joke, folks. It is indeed a garden of terror.Jenny Lambethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882882761635201406.post-71668464399694005832012-07-16T07:37:51.178-07:002012-07-16T07:37:51.178-07:00Thank you, Kimberly.

Also, it might be misleading to make it seem like I actually water my garden on a regular basis. I definitely do not...<br /><br />Jenny -- you read my mind.

Good for you for welcoming your plants back. My extent of gardening is growing green onions in a glass of water in the window sill, which always ends with another silent Southern killer--mold.<br /><br />And you thought the South didn't have nature!Jenny Lambethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882882761635201406.post-42150726640951509282012-07-06T14:52:06.526-07:002012-07-06T14:52:06.526-07:00This made me want to throw up.

At least you sort of redeemed this blog post by showing the happy and healthy plants and fruits. And Gandalf.

Also, I hate bugs. So I admire the fact that you're trying again and giving gardening another shot, because there's no way I'd be able to after your experiences.<br /><br />Also, I learned that I should not take a big gulp of coffee whilst reading your blog, because that coffee ends up splattered on my computer screen after I've cackled. And good news, I'm in Starbucks, not at home, so there are witnesses to my laughing coffee all over myself.<br /><br />Good blog.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11506218462286998085noreply@blogger.com
