about a month ago our apartment complex cleared out what used to be a hot tub and made it in to a garden area. our complex offered plots to those who wanted a garden space. i wasn't thrilled about the idea, considering i have killed a bamboo plant - which are quite impossible to kill, but i was bored one day and was only working part-time so i decided to grow me some vegetables. i bought some seeds, planted them, and waited. i watered them every day. and waited. and still nothing. finally after i thought they were not going to grow, some leaves of the zucchini sprouted.
it was an exciting day - i didn't kill them all! a few days later the onions and carrots started to show. skip ahead a few weeks - it was looking good. knowing you grew the zucchini too.. zucchini bread has never sounded so good.
yesterday after work, my husband mentioned he watered our garden as we walked past it. "..and i weeded too." oh no. i immediately noticed our zucchini leaves were gone. there they were, set off to the side, shriveled up. bless his heart. ya can't get mad when he had great intentions.
he did point out that it still might grow because he "may not have pulled the whole thing out." we'll see... ;)
HAHAHA this post....first I thought you meant the leaves looked like weed? but it's even funnier than that! Oh my gosh, I can totally see Mark doing the exact same thing. That's too funny.
