When you succeed too much you actually end up failing I have found out. At the start of this summer I potted an herb and vegetable garden for the first time ever and tended to the plants somewhat diligently all summer long. They grew pretty well and I enjoyed the occasional sprigs of mint and basil but sort of stopped paying attention as nothing else was really growing. Well, as frost now approaches I went out to check on the plants and found out that the tomatoes actually did quite well. However, since I let them sit out for way too long they all fell to the dirty porch floor or got to be overripe and split. Boo.
