Gardening is easy. All you do is dig a hole, add some seeds and water, then boom you have an overflowing abundance of fresh vegetables for your family. right?

Okay so it's not really that easy. And there may be a few steps I left out. Like obsessing about what various insects might be having a family reunion on the underside of the leaves of your precious tomato plants. Or checking the 10 day forcast every hour to see if there might be the possibility of sun, you know some time in june. Or maybe spending hours researching various techniques in creating the most perfectly balanced compost tea that won't stink up your garage while steeping. Or maybe thats just me. Yeah at this point I might just have to throw my hands up and say whatever grows grows. or convert my raised beds into a fish pond.
