Ask anyone who grows their own food and they’ll tell you it’s worth it. Not only do fresh, home-grown fruits and vegetables taste best and often are more nutritious than the ones sitting in a grocery store, but the pride and satisfaction that come from harvesting the fruits of your labor are also simply priceless.
However, getting there can be challenging. Especially if you’re a newbie. After all, there’s plenty you need to learn about the crop, nature keeps throwing you curveballs, and some pesky little creature is constantly trying to rob you.
So when someone fails at their first harvest, often the only thing left for them to do is… have a laugh about it on the Internet and try again next year.
