I was never one for getting dirt under my fingernails and trying to coax seeds to pop through the ground, but.....
it sure is fun to stroll into the yard and pick a "salad"---endive, yellow and red tomatoes, sweet peppers and fresh herbs.....Now I know what they mean by "farm-fresh."
And, the flowers sure make you smile just to see the vibrant colors: gorgeous gladiolas ( well- those are the neighbors' but I can still gaze and they're good about sharing them), jewel-toned zinnias, black-eyed susans ( also called gloriosas...sounds much more elegant!), portulaca, alyssum, and some cheery-looking ones that look like pansies, but aren't....
David is the talent behind the garden and the worker bee......I TRY to help, but often it's best if I just cheer him on ( sometimes I can't tell weeds from seedlings when helping to weed...not good!).
So, I'll just enjoy the bounty and the beauty....
