Got this idea from a book. You can try to guess which one.
Garden 1 –
Neat rows of vegetables with labels on popsicle sticks. The marigolds in the wrong place to promote better chi flow, killing off some plants that hated them. Growing many veggies that nobody would eat although they looked cool. Pink Swiss chard. Sell it at a vegetable stand in the fall.
Garden 2 –
Not really a garden anymore. All the plants were dead. The only thing that lasted until harvest time was the bird house gourds and cucumbers and they were huge and tasted pretty bad. A fortified perimeter lined with live animals traps because others objected to steel clawed traps. Don't hurt the bunnies!
Garden 3 –
More like a study in native grasses. Or more like an excuse not to hoe and fertilize his plot. Because it was imperative to the scientists of New York to know if dandelions out populated Queen Anne 's lace.
Garden 4 –
All flowers in a wacky layout. "Rows are for communists!" he said to Gardener 1. Big sunflowers drooped in the autumn air, obscuring Gardener 2's sunlight and he made that his excuse for why his garden failed. "They're happy. They have a nice view," was Gardener 4's defense. Also some herbs for cooking. "Somebody needs to season these rank cucumbers. Maybe we can cook Don's dandelions and make wine."
Only Gardeners 1 and 4 produced any food. Gardener 2 did produce two raccoons and groundhog. Gardener 3 produced a bunch of scientific notes that nobody cared about except himself and his patroness.
