You are right I did mean the scheduled end of the sprint doesn't change when saying the “deadline for a deliverable ” didn't change. Perhaps I should change "deliverable" for "working version of your software in its current state". I wanted to emphasize that there should be something working and useful to show and get feedback from. The gardening thing came from thinking about the things I need to do in my own garden :-) I had never seen it explained that way before either. I figured if I explained it well enough using a completely new metaphor that might prove I understood the concepts pretty well.

Although it's more difficult to understand gardener examples than "As a user I wan't spellchecking, so that the recipient doesn't realize how bad my spelling is." If you wan't to stick to non-code examples you might consider architects and houses. I stumbled over the following sentence: "Stories can be added or dropped from a sprint, but the deadline for a deliverable does not change." With "deadline for a deliverable " you mean the scheduled end of the sprint? After having read that article I'm sure it must be a much better experience (maybe even more fun) when having a bigger team than my 2pig-2chicken setup. But hey, small steps are better than sitting on the couch. Looking forward for the rest of the series. Quite a nice article – easier to read than http://scrummethodology.com/ for example.
