Brad Feld is apparently very fond of asking “What do you suck at?”, a topic he’s blogged about on a few different occasions. I thought I’d make a contribution.
Exhibit A – Pride Comes Before A Fall
Since I now own a house with some land around it (compared to Phoenix) and things can theoretically grow well here, I’ve been trying a feeble hand at growing some veggies.
And that is a pepper I grew all by myself (with some help from my father in law). I tried growing three plants and only one actually flowered, but it was the Little Pepper That Could.
I was so proud.
Exhibit B – The Suck
One storm and 24 hours of not-paying-attention later…
Doh. I tried to take a picture of the nasty creepy crawly that was inside my prized pepper, but it just didn’t come out well. I seriously considered eating the Pepper anyway, but my smarter-than-me wife talked me out of it (thanks!).
So yeah, despite my relatively determined efforts, I really suck at gardening…
