I can see it now - everything growing out of the compost pile.

I know what you mean...I'm more nervous than I would be when it was more of a hobby(pre-divorce) - I mean it still is, but I'm a bit broke (single parent, f/t student) and I was hoping we'd get some cheap food. My dad was nice enough to build the boxes and fill them for free (my parents are well off) and I planted nearly everything from seed, unlike last year, hoping to save more money. If it all dies, I'll be pretty upset for a bit. I know it's not a lot of food, and I'll be able to replant with some left over seeds, but still...produce is expensive here. Even though I spent a lot of money on larger plants last year, I still came out ahead when I added everything up. Anyway. I'm just going to not think about it. I'll find out how everything fared in the morning...
