40 Mighty Funny Harvest Fails From Home Gardens Gone Wrong
This year, my wife and I tried growing a little herb garden and a couple of small tomato plants on our balcony. For city living, that basically counts as farming. We got some edible tomatoes, and the herbs actually came through, but our first go at it was nothing close to what you’ll find in the Mighty Harvest subreddit.
That’s where people share their funniest harvest fails. Like comically giant lemons or vegetables so tiny they look like dollhouse food. Not exactly the bounty they were hoping for, but at least it’s good for a laugh.
