Failures

Growing your own food is as much about failures as it is about success. Colourful, happy, time poor television programs often mislead the budding backyard gardener into thinking that all their efforts will be easy and land them back in the garden of eden.

Any gardener with more than 3 minutes of experience knows that as joyous as it is, growing edibles is often tough, dirty and disappointing work. That said, when we fail we often discover better techniques, have a richer understanding and a heightened joy with each successfully harvested crop.
