I surrender!

Well, after launching "Laura's First-Ever Gardening Experience" this past spring (or last fall, when I planted bulbs), I've concluded that I have an affinity for growing weeds. They're flourishing. I know that I've spent practically zero time in the gardens since Madeline was born, but I can't explain why one flower box of petunias and pansies died right out in July while the box beside it, containing the same flowers, didn't. I planted nastertiums that didn't bloom but sprouted leaves the size of apples (?), and I have no idea where my sweetpeas are. I know that I planted seeds ...

It's to Chris's credit that we've had some romaine lettuce and zucchinis because he still manages to get outside and water from time to time ...
