I am loving the garden at this moment. The garden is sporting tomatoes, grapes, watermelon, sunburst squash, assorted herbs, avocados, papaya, oranges, peppers (green and purple), pumpkins, strawberries and big leafy banana trees.
It makes me happy to feel the sun on my back, sport dirty fingers and shoo the birds from my grapes (the daughter has named the birds Sonny and Charlene-same two adorable birds that take baths in my bird bath every Saturday morning).
The garden is growing strong although I have had to throw a few snails off my squash. Thus far, the tomatoes are growing strong with no pests. Last year a tomato horn worm ate all my plants (stab to the heart). Not this year horn worm, I am checking the leaves twice-sometimes three times a day for your nasty ways. The marigolds are helping to keep the pests away.
Here is a peek at the goods to come:
