DELICIOUS HOME-GROWN VEGETABLES

Okay, a couple of warnings before we proceed.

1. This is over seven thousand words long. This was not my intention. I was going for something short.
2. It's a full story with a beginning, a middle, and an end. However, the plot--especially the ending--might make sense to me and only me. It might be one of those things that works only in my head.
