That is exactly where I am with my garden, Lisa, and why the decision was made. It did get easier after I got started. I almost got rid of all of Buttered Popcorn, but changed my mind at the last minute. I think I would have regretted that!
I couldn't have said it better... "They will need to earn their spot this year." If the stats don't stack up or if it doesn't extend the season (extra early/extra late), it may go to another home.
I remember the terrible story about the thieves at your school garden and what a difficult time that was for you. I hope things have gotten better.
