I'm so jealous! I can't even keep a cactus alive. And we aren't allowed to plant anything at this stupid townhome.

If any of these plants live and actually bear fruit, it will be entirely Corey's doing. The only things I trust myself to keep alive are the succulents. I'm sort of anti-outdoors in general, but he's wanted a big garden for as long as I've known him. He built the raised beds, mixed the special potting soil for them, picked out the seeds, built the deer fence, and did most of the planting. I love the way it looks and I'm looking forawrd to eating the veggies, but what I like the most is that he's doing all the work.
