 From Webshots ~~**~~ I have a little garden my plants are just a few The vegetables taste much better when planted by me or you Even though I did not plant it my friend did that for me He has a real green thumb growing veggies for us to see They look so cute growing with blooms on the plants Have to watch out for the bugs especially the ants Hanging on the plants the tomatoes are now green And little tiny cucumbers are the cutest ever seen I love my little garden every day I look at it Waiting patiently for the vegetables upon my plate to sit ~~**~~ . . . Thank you, Gary's Dad, for planting my little garden [This message has been edited by garysgirl (05-20-2003 11:31 AM).] |

Ethel...nothing tastes as good as veggies fresh picked from your own garden...such a blessing it is, just to watch them grow.  |

It really is hard to not like the veggies that come out of one's own garden.... Like this! |

 (smiles) It ALWAYS has to be organic for me, sweet friend, we have a big garden in our backyard and grow many fruits and vegetables and go to many local farmers markets, and in the winter when there is nothing to grow, we go to Wild Oats all the time and get our products there! (kiss on cheek) Yay, may all your wonderful dinners with your dinner be fresh, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

Yes Ethel, this reminds me of the times when I had a big ol’ garden. It’s funny how much grows from such little plantings or seeds. I went and bought so many plants...lol... I didn’t know how big they would get. I had like 18 tomato plants, and about the same number of peppers. Plus a few rows of corn, and we had carrots, radishes, string beans, strawberries, egg plants, bell peppers, cucumbers, lettuce and oh, the zuchini and pumpkins...lol... and this was all in a pretty small backyard at the time... My neighbors would draw their blinds when they saw me coming over with boxes of three foot long zucchini's... lol Oh gosh!...lol... it was so much fun though... The absolute best, was the tomatoes... these certain Champion kind and the Sweet 100 cherry tomatoes... I had never tasted tomatoes that sweet before in my life... and never have since... I sure miss being in the sun driving that pick into the ground... talk about releasing some tension... it was very therapeutic... Wonderful poem Ethel! Thanks for the memories! Richy |

Sue, I'm sorry that it was bittersweet, but glad that it brought back some good memories to you.  . . Nan, oh-oh....I didn't think about the little critters stealing the veggies. They will, though. Sorry, Ron!! That reminds me of some people I know. A few years ago some of the people at Church decided to raise rabbits to eat. This one couple (like me and my late husband were) saw that they couldn't eat the cute little things after raising them, so the guy took them out to the woods behind their house and let them go free. Later that year he planted some greens in a garden. He started noticing that something was getting into his garden eating his greens. So, he started watching it to see what it was. Yep, his rabbits were coming back to eat the greens. I guess they thought they were planted for them to eat. LOL . . Richey, I know what you mean. My late husband used to say he was going to plant a little garden every year, so he would plow up a place with his tiller in the back yard, leaving a space between the rows. We would always say we were going to plant just a few things. He would end up planting so much that he would use the space between the rows where we were supposed to walk to gather the vegetables. He would tell me to let him pick them because I might step on his plants. He would grow things that we didn't even like and give them away. He just liked to watch them grow. LOL . . Thank you all for the nice replies. I really appreciate the smiles you've brought to me today. Hugs to you all, Ethel |
