{how does your garden grow}

Mary, Mary, quite contrary How does you garden grow? With silver bells and cockle shells and not one marigold...Well, not yet. I did plant some marigolds from seed over the weekend.


As well as harvest a few of my vegetables that I have cared for over the last several weeks.
I have plucked some beautiful spring onions


And after weeks of wondering what my cabbages would grow up to be...
one finally graduated to the Sunday dinner table...



Soon, we'll be gathering peppers and tomatoes and squash and beets 
 {then canning peppers and tomatoes and squash and beets}


I remember how much hard work goes into having a garden - with all the planting and weeding and watering. I did alot of garden work as a young person in my parents' garden. But it is not until you have your own garden that you experience/understand the harvest....making all the hard work worth while.
