Green Thumb?

This is the squash plant that is thriving in my garden.  Do you know what’s amazing about this squash?

  • I did not plant it
  • I do not water it
  • I do not weed around it

Yet there it is.  It produces those yellow summer squash that are pretty much peaked zucchini.  (Peaked, as in pee-kid.  Look it up.)  You gardeners out there will understand that we have so much squash I could start a farm stand. 

On the contrary, I lovingly planted a sugar snap pea plant earlier this summer.  I watered it and weeded around it and said nice things to it.  This is what I received in return:

This plant produced one pea.  One.  And it was tiny.

Clearly my best approach is to be hands-off in the garden.
