Hey baby, are you a summer vegetable garden? Because I thought you'd be a lot of fun, but now I'm afraid that was a miscalculation. I think keeping up with you is giving me heatstroke.

If I were the last surviving member of a failed expedition in the arctic I wouldn't choose to keep living there. Like, one main factor of doom was that there weren't plants around and after all that suffering you choose to keep living without leaves in your life? without fruits? without apples and oranges and peaches and berries? without vegetables? No more eggplants or peppers or corn or onions? No man, when I hear Ross talking about his shot of lemon juice to fight scurvy I'll remember how good even a green salad tastes and pack my bag. Rip Francis Crozier but I need garlic in my life

I can never make up my mind about magentaspreen. The leaves are magical. How many plants shed sparkling pink glitter all over your salad? It's dead easy to grow, self seeds rampantly, seems invulnerable to pests, and provides homes for adorable flower spiders.
The only problem is, I find the taste meh, and even one plant produces far more leaves than my family will consume - let alone the dozen or so that I can't bring myself to pull up. It takes up a lot of room, and when it gets big and prominent, the pink seems to fade, leaving it plain and weedy looking. Like this:
