According to statistics, about 35% of people grow their own fruit and vegetables right in their own gardens. It’s true that nothing compares to the satisfaction of cooking something you have produced with your own hands. And maybe if you have a good harvest, you won’t need to spend much money at the grocery store. But the reality sometimes isn’t that perfect and people don’t always have a success story to share.
1. “My corn (1) is doing great.”
2. “Would anyone like some lemon water?”
3. “I might make carrot cake with one of them, and juice with the other.”
4. “Very large harvest. Very small dog.”
