back to the garden....

planning to spend the holiday tomorrow setting up my vegetable plot... the only problem is i'm too lazy to go into all the details... information online has everything from crop rotation schedules to how to make compost but all i want to do is plant the plant and watch it grow... and then watch it die... how depressing... a few of my plants have been dying, some are infested with white flies and i know some of them are being sucked dry by aphids... can you imagine the list of garden pests and disease?
