The lonely Tomato.

I think my "gardening" idea, is going to be more of a tomato plant than a garden. Tomatoes seem to be the easiest plant to grow, and lets face, I don't have a lot of free time. (at least not free time that I can use outside tending to a garden).

It's slightly upsetting to read how much really goes along with planting a garden. It's a lot of work, and I'd have to get started pronto, in order to grow lettuce like I wanted to.

This is sad considering I only wanted to grow four simple veggies. Tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and possibly potatoes. That's it. Surely I can figure out a way to work it out. Right? I'm afraid to commit to it.

I'm torn. I really would like to grow my own veggies. It would save us a lot of money. Other then myself, my family doesn't consume much tomatoes, cucumbers, or lettuce. However, we eat potatoes gallore. It would make life much simpler if I could just pick them out of my own garden.

I love a good salad. Any day of the week. However I don't buy much because I'm the only one that will eat it. The boyfriend and my daughter will pretty much only eat potatoes and corn. If I had my own garden to pick these things from, I wouldn't feel guilty about buying things that only I would eat.

Then there's Stitch. Our iguana. We've found that he'll only eat lettuce. So that would be another thing we wouldn' t have to worry about.

All of this is assuming I could even be successful in gardening. I'm not even sure if my backyard is really suitable. I guess I'll have to do more research. I really want to make this happen!
