I'm curious if anyone else has had a plant experience that turned them off from ever trying it again. Personally, I will never plant turnips again because of my past struggles with them. What about you? Are there any plants you've planted once but promised yourself you'd never grow again? What happened that made you feel this way?

Forget-me-nots were pretty in theory, but they turned out to be way too invasive. I planted just one, and now they seem to be taking over every bare spot in my garden! I'm pulling them out constantly. Never again for those little guys!
Eggplant was a total flop for me. I live in a hot climate, but somehow, I just couldn't get it to thrive. It's definitely off my list for future gardens! Also, I had this plant that looked like purple basil but spread everywhere once it went to seed—turns out it was purple shiso. I won't be planting that either!
I had a tough time with lupines. No matter how many times I tried planting them, they always ended up completely covered in aphids. It was frustrating! I definitely won't be going back to those anytime soon.
