My Garden

Well… I’ve been harvesting produce from my garden. Everything looks great! Cucumbers, carrots, green beans, tomatoes, cilantro and basil. Aside from a few nibbles taken by the rabbits, deer and any other kind of critter that feels entitled to help themselves.
Some of these guys are so bold – I think they just sit out of sight and watch me working in the garden and after I harvest, replant and weed, they must think I do it all for them. The other day I picked some cucumbers and tomatoes and went into the house to get something to carry my harvest in. When I returned not five minutes later, I discovered that someone took a nice nibble out of the best and ripest tomato. Oh well… I thought that might happen - so I planted enough to share with everyone.
I shooed a rabbit and a few deer away the other day knowing they would be back as soon as I went in. I truly enjoy working in the garden and as crazy as this may sound, I wish there were more weeds. I love weeding.
