I am pleased to report on the success of my new vegetable garden. Now granted there were several dismal failures of individual crops but all in all it was great and worth the effort. I was thinking about the point of it all. Indulge me as I wax philosophical. I don’t think it matters if your garden is beautiful or productive — if you enjoy it. If it becomes a chore or guilt-producing it’s time to lay down your shovel.
