It's about a year since I began the community garden experiment, and I really owe all of you an update on just how my garden has grown. Overall I suppose it's been a success, but I have (perhaps unrealistically) high standards, and I can't honestly say it's been a screaming success. Oh, you and I might both have heard my garden screaming at times, but let's not confuse that with success.

It's kinda like the Invasion of the Body Snatchers - the original 1956 version, of course. Initially there's just these little pods, but you come back a couple of hours later and there's a fully formed human (or alien that looks just like your loved-one).
