This Used To Be My Garden
OH WOE IS ME!
You will not believe what Luca did the other night. He ran into my mini-garden and knocked it over!!! aghiahgaihgai!!!! My poor little plants! *SOB* Instead of a vegetable garden I now have a vegetable burial ground. *SNIFF* The parsley plants were completely wiped out–they were too delicate to withstand the fall and then Luca’s brutal sweeping back into the pot. And at least 15 of my zucchini plants are no longer with us. The zucchini were a little more robust and so I managed to save 4 seedlings, but we’ll see if they actually survive more than a week…
And to top it all off Luca didn’t even tell me the extent of the damage when it happened (granted I was half asleep). So when I awoke yester morning to discover my little babies crashed to the ground and smashed into pieces you can imagine what a shock it was. And to top it all off, when I called Luca to yell at him he said “They were all going to die anyway.” ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?!?!
He did finally offer to buy me fully grown plants when it came time to plant the garden, but it’s not the same thing!
Oh No!! I’m so sorry for your loss! stupid boys… I will keep my fingers crossed for the survivors, and you’re right, full grown plants won’t be the same, but they will still be tasty. try to take heart in that.
This reminds me of the time that I dropped the alphabetized yearbook photos on the floor. I wonder if we had blogs back then if we would have written about it. Where does Victoria Longhoria belong again??
There is an “herb festival” here this weekend. I think we might buy some plants and have another go. If Luca can’t be trusted around seedlings, I don’t think that Oak can either!
You probably didn’t need more than 4 zuchini plants anyway and they will be all the stronger for having survived. However, I am more than a little surprised with Luca’s cavalier attitude towards your babies. ¡Cuidado, por favor!
