Garden Wars: Revenge of the Carrots

It all started with a seed. . .


. . . slowly that seed sprouted and started a war between two sisters
 - a Garden War!

Every year Chicken & Bo have their own respective flower and vegetable gardens;
and every year the stakes are raised higher for the tomato plants.

Each spring and summer Bo & Chicken are always trying to out-grow and out-bloom each other.  This year the garden trash talk, well I guess it would be more "dirt talk," started early with the revenge of the carrots.

Last growing season, Chicken tried to grow carrots with out success; and half of Bo's green onions withered away.   But those fallen veggies came back with the torrential downpours that we've received in April.  As Chicken was planning her garden this spring she had carrots growing and Bo's green onions were standing tall.

This began the dirt talk and the decision was made to let the gardens speak for themselves; so we could find out who was the real Master Gardener.
