How Does Your Garden Grow?

Mine is growing and giving me some veggies. I’ve had the pleasure of picking my first English peas…so sweet and tender; and heads of beautiful green broccoli. I love it! The horse poo has paid off.

~ The best place to seek God is in a garden. You can dig for Him there~

George Bernard Shaw

I am most at home in my garden where it doesn’t matter if I wear make-up, my clothes don’t match, or that my shoes are dirty. The birds sing to me, the butterflies flutter by in their beauty, and a cool breeze flows by. Swoon~

Throw on you rubbers and take a walk with me through my garden…

Rows of tall green plants full of blooms and tiny pods of sweet peas…

Huge leafy broccoli plants with flowery heads begging to be cut...

Lined up green tops of onions growing and reaching toward the sky…

Bushy leaves on the bed where the potatoes sleep…

Tiny little plants growing up to make some okra…

Huge leaves connect each of the squash plants as they build a canopy for big bright yellow flowers which reveal little baby veggies…

Cucumbers trying their best to reach the fence to trellis on…

and bell pepper plants getting a fresh start, along with

some new tomato plants which I have already caged.

Along the edges are some mixed wild flowers growing

from their youth with petunias and daisies all around.

~ The best way to garden is to put on a wide-brimmed straw hat and

some old clothes. And with a hoe in one hand

and a cold drink in the other, tell someone else where to dig.

I get pleasure from my garden where I feel the sun’s warmth,

I get to dig in the dirt with my hands, and I get the delight of reaping my rewards.

I am at home in my growing space.

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells, and cockle shells,

And pretty maids all in a row

When I don my yellow rubber ladybug shoes, with gloves on and tools in hand, I begin to cultivate my love of gardening. And when I tire and need a sit-down; the “pink” chair is my resting tool. Yes it is pink! Jackie even sits in it for a while! So…what’s on the menu for supper…baked ham, homemade mashed potatoes, fresh English peas, and sweet tea. Grab a fork and come eat with me!

~ Gardening is the art that uses flowers and plants as paint,

and the soil and sky as canvas.

~ Elizabeth Murray

Go dig in the garden and bury all your troubles…you will find peace there.
