Paul Byrd Sucks at Gardening

During Paul Byrd's brief time away from baseball he experimented with gardening but according to an interview with Rob Bradford at WEEI.com, his efforts did not pay off: “It was ready to go, but I planted like 50 pumpkins and I’ve only got four,” Paul explained. “And all of my tomato bushes died. My corn died. My cucumbers grew but they’re crooked. So what I discovered was — soil is extremely important, so is following directions, and I’m a ballplayer, not a gardener. But I guess the positives are that I have four pumpkins.” Insert you own Eckersley "salad" reference here.  We can only hope his revived baseball career can make up for his limited gardening skills.Fenway West- The Western Home to Red Sox Nation http://www.fenwaywest.com
