- It’s Metamorphosis Monday! Click on pic to see more on Between Naps on the Porch
Finally done! The rain finally stopped long enough for me to finish getting my garden in. It isn’t a really big garden but it is just right for my husband and me and a little extra to share. I’ve got lots of veggies and a few flowers. I’m so happy. It has been some back breaking work and dirty work but it has been a labor of love. I’m still looking for my scarecrow. I think he must be hiding!
To plant a garden is to believe in the future!
- Here is the plot freshly tilled and turned.
- And here it is with soil amendments and mulched walking rows. Freshly planted and ready to grow!
Who loves a garden still his Eden keeps,
Perennial pleasures plants, and wholesome harvest reaps.
