Garden girl.

When I was a kid, my family moved every 2 or 3 years.  But wherever we lived, my dad always planted and tended a vegetable garden with an amazing variety of things including carrots, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, squash, chard, brussel sprouts, rhubarb, beets, onions, peas, beans, corn, spinach, potatoes, etc, etc.

My dad instilled in me a love to play in the dirt.  I can’t say I spend a fraction of the time he did in the garden, or have nearly the variety of things that he planted.  But I certainly do enjoy the little patches I have.

This is a shot part of my perennial herb bed, with sage, rosemary and oregano.  Savory!

P.s.  Yes, the lawn needs some edging work.  My weed eater has lost its spring, so I’m waiting for Mr UPS man to bring me a package.  Hopefully, before this weekend.
