I'd been saying easy come, easy go with my gardening efforts but I won't lie: it was a bit of a disappointment to view - on the morning before the last frost date for the area - the crispy terrain in my backyard covered with ice. My broccoli starts reproachfully eyed me with their mouths open in frozen death screams. Well who knows, maybe something will have survived.
Another rather silly thing is that I'm actually one of the charter members of the Community Garden this year, and I can't really grow a thing. I'm going to be helping the grade school kids with their own garden plot. So that's even more excellent: planting tender flower shoots, say, only to find them next week brown and sad and dead. "Hey kids, failure is a natural part of life so let's learn about it!"
I'm really hoping I get some help from a Master Gardener.
