My Garden Story
We went with a friend to our very first plant sale. Everywhere we looked there were people with hats, wagons, and well-planned strategies. We, on the other hand, showed up with nothing more than nerves and a bottle of water.
That’s when we met a young woman who told us she was there for one thing: a tomato plant. She laughed and said, “If this doesn’t work, maybe gardening just isn’t for me.” I smiled, but inside I was shocked. Gardening doesn’t work like that. It takes mistake after mistake to grow into a good gardener. Believe me — me and tomatoes have a troubled past.
If I’d given up after my first veggie murder, Awkward Acres wouldn’t even exist today. There are more than 40 million lawns in America, and I’m out here trying to add to the number of people who feel awkward, uncertain, or unsure — but still willing to turn their lawns into Awkward Acres of their own. Would you like to join us?
