50 Times People Tried To Grow Their Own Food But Ended Up Hilariously Disappointed (New Pics)

Ornamental Key lime?

I wish my lime tree grew pennies.

Small, but perfectly formed

Oh My! Its so cute

Picked it too soon

Hey, the packet says tomato, not tomatoes.

It does advertise black 'cherry' not 'cherries'.

Prune the plant! i.e. cut away the new stems as soon as they grow in the ‘arm pits’ so nutrition goes to the stems that are able to grow flowers and therefore tomatoes on one side and a big leafy stem on the other side. Check regularly to see if your plant needs pruning as long as it grows. I had a summer job on a tomato farm, when backpacking through Australia 25 years ago.. Thank me later :))

one is better than none ;) good job

Well it does say tomato...

But I dont like mine too sour.

love it. and ; you have very special handlines.

Our tiny tree produces hundreds of these every year, but they're eventually followed by a few big ones that outlive the rest! I try to pluck the stunted ones off as they brown and die.

That baby lemon is tasty

Thank you for the banana for scale

I cant see how it "failed to grow" !

Nice banana! Is the asparagus for scale?

Do I hear a Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum?

Asparagus is weird though. One stalk at a time comes from one branch.

Perfect for a fancy restaurant where the bill can't be less than $1,000.

If those villagers are Lilliputians.

I'm thinking all sorts of dirty comments, but I don't need to make any of them, because the carrot is already dirty.

Have no idea what size this is without a banana

Thats a serious carrot

Apparently if you plant carrots in the spring they can continue to grow for half the year

Sexy!

This is the cutest in the list!!

..Maybe it's just cold?

And much to your surprise, the lil bugger is hotter than a sumbitch!

Thats just sad lol

Almost....

I feel like just a general piece of advice for people growing veggies: plants need nutrients to grow, this is why people use compost and manure.

My first time ever growing carrots looked like this lol I didn't know you had to thin the crop once they started growing lol

I have never had success with carrots. The tops look deceptively great though.

Not too bad

There’s more green there than actual carrot! 🥕🥕🥕

Size doesn't matter.

This is my problem- I ‘fuss’. I fuss every day twice a day checking and gardening them. I left my cucumber plant alone for two days while I off for work- and like an ungrateful child it flourished and produced 2 FAT snack cucumbers. Moral: I kill with love. Leave them alone. Why does everything have to b left lol

Just dowm them with a nice chianti
