What's So Hard About Farming?

During the summer, we were at one of the plant stores getting some flowers for the front flower bed. The boys begged to get a vegetable to plant to grow their own veggies. Well, they're cheap (very important since I KNEW they would not keep up with them, water them, etc.) so we said okay. We even let them plant them right in the front flower bed by the garage since we, once again, KNEW that they wouldn't be there long.


Well, evidently either my children have the special green thumb that has eluded me my entire life, or farming isn't that difficult after all. Seriously these little guys have thrived on very little water, soil that won't keep my lilies pretty, and very little room to move around. But look...aren't they sweet?

Since we threw away the little tags inside of the crate (again, we weren't going to need those), we forgot what they planted. We're pretty sure these are poblano peppers, but maybe jalapeno? And the other little green ones, we have no idea. Is there a farmer out there who was not offended by this post that could help?
