THE GARDEN

The Gardener's Morning
The robin's song at daybreak Is a clarion call to me. Get up and get out in the garden, For the morning hours flee. I cannot resist the summons, What earnest gardener could? For the golden hours of morning Get into the gardener's blood. The magic spell is upon me, I'm glad that I did not wait; For life's at its best in the morning, As you pass through the garden gate.- Howard Dolf


It has been fun taking care of our beautiful garden. The tomatoes are just starting to look good, we think the late spring early summer storms took a tole on them. The Butternut Squash the Zucchini Squash, & Spaghetti Squash, along with the Red Peppers, Ivory Peppers and Green Bell peppers are all growing strong. We even have an Egg Plant! Our freezer is already full and I'm giving away a lot of zucchini bread and brownies. We are also enjoying our Spagehetti squash with our spaghetti dinners. Life is good, I'm loving it!

P.S. Cherry Tomatoes are coming out of our ears!

That does look really nice and the food looks great. I wish we had a nice garden to take care of. I want to get rid of our Ivy hill and create two terraces. One for flowers and the other for vegetables and fruit. Someday I suppose.
