Not Quite Feeding the Family

This is the front cover of one of my Digger's magazines... I know the scan hasn't come out that well, but that barrow is absolutely chockers with vegies, and the word "abundance" would not be out of place when applied to the garden.

Opening the magazine there's an ad for a book by Clive Blazey, who shows you how to "be self sufficient with only 10 square metres of space". There are other ads in the magazine, "10 packets of seeds to yield 108kg of vegetables", "two tonnes of food in 13 packets of seeds".
Hmm... after a few months of enthusiastically digging and sowing, this is what I've got to feed the family today. A bean. One of them. And I just realised, this bean of mine... it's actually hanging over the fence... so that bean, technically, is my neighbour's.
Sauteed bean anyone?
