Jo’s Corner

Jo Quote of the Week

It only took 13 years, 26 failed garden attempts, and approximately $8,341.87 in seeds, pots, fertilizer, and plants that “looked promising.”

The result?

One cucumber.

ONE.

And Jo held it like it was the lost treasure of El Dorado. She smiled. She beamed. She announced she would slice it delicately and eat it with cream cheese like a queen rewarding herself for surviving the plague.

Was it worth the emotional rollercoaster, sunburns, and impromptu weeping over dead basil?

Absolutely.

We don’t grow food in this house—we grow character. And apparently, cucumbers. Eventually.

Each week we highlight a real quote from Jo, capturing the motherhood madness and marital mayhem that makes our home equal parts sitcom and survival show. Stick around—there’s always another Jo-ism just waiting to be immortalized.
