Stranger Than Most

Another Year, Another Garden

by SUSAN LAUTZ, LPC

Every year in an unbridled spasm of hope, I put in a vegetable garden. And every year I dump hundreds of dollars’ worth of water on that God-forsaken patch of Texas gumbo in order to yield a few quarts of green beans, okra that I hate and more squash than either me or my husband care to eat. The tomatoes, the melons, the sweet corn. None of these ever seem to come to fulfillment.
