These giants arose from the spindliest, most delicate little seedlings. Can't tell you how often I painstakingly propped and tied them to gradually taller sticks until they were on their own.
I think there's a child-rearing metaphor in there somewhere. :)
How was your 2011 garden? Ours wasn't stellar, but we weren't stellar gardeners. We have so much to learn. So far we've learned that if we had to subsist on our backyard harvest, we'd be dead. :) But I still like gardening. I like digging in the dirt, being outside, and sending the girls out there to pick tomatoes and snip basil. It's just so cute when they come through the back door with the hems of their shirts pulled up into pouches for produce!
