Balcony garden gambling

Life is full of gambles that may or may not pay rewards:

1. Taking on student debt for an advanced degree
2. Marriage 
3. Cross-country moves for jobs
4. Letting spouse take the Sam's Card
5. Signing a lease
6. Buying a used car
7. Home ownership, for heaven's sake!

So buying a $9.99 tomato plant and matching eggplant at Calloway's Nursery on Memorial Day weekend seemed like a perfectly responsible purchase. So far, so good!

Never would have put money on the cut-off top of a pineapple, but it's determined to finish first in its second year.
