Greenhouse Joys and Fails from This Month Past
Joy #1: The Tomato Tantrum That Paid Off
We almost gave up on the heirloom starts—too leggy, too moody—but they rallied like drama queens in the sun. They’re now thriving and acting like they invented chlorophyll.
Joy #2: The Lettuce That Didn’t Bolt (Yet)
Cool nights and consistent watering kept the greens crisp and sweet. Salad success with minimal panic. We’ll take it.
Fail #1: The Great Label Mystery
Somehow, we now have five trays of “unknowns.” The labels? Faded, flipped, or vanished entirely. Are they peppers? Are they eggplant? Time (and blossoms) will tell.
Fail #2: Overwatering Row 3
Let’s just say someone got enthusiastic with the hose. RIP to the three drowned marigolds and one deeply offended rosemary.
Wrap-Up: Dirt, Drama, and Progress
It wasn’t perfect—but that’s greenhouse life. Plants grow, plans flop, and every failure teaches us something (usually humility). On to next month—hopefully with waterproof labels and a little less hose.
