Well, it's not going to grow with silver bells and cockle shells, that's for sure.
And there's no maidens in a row helping out, either.
It will grow with hard work, water and prayer. lol
I'm pretty sure my grandmother will have a hand in it, too.
Here's my veggie garden as of last week.
It doesn't look like much right now but I see lots of good eating ahead.
We left rows of grass for walking between the vegetables. That can be mowed easily.
The soil is mixed with a rich mushroom compost and it's watered daily.
I've planted zucchini, cucumbers, multi-coloured sweet peppers and chili peppers.
Carrots, parsnips and spanish onions. Yellow beans, green beans, squash, beets & a row of tomatoes. Ten tomato plants should feed an army. Much of this was started in the funny little green-house.
All veggie gardens need a chair close by.
The teepee of boards and chopped wood is home to a chipmunk family so it has to stay put for awhile longer. I wonder if it's Simon's family? If it is he still spends most of his time at his own den under the old pump platform. I guess he needs his own space plus he knows I leave him treats there. ;-)

This new one is pretty cute.
And I've fallen head over heels for this wee one below.
Is she not the cutest thing ever.
I want to say this is Simon's girlfriend
and if there is any advice on how to make a chipmunk fall for another please feel free to comment. You don't have to leave your name. lol
She spent much of the afternoon watching me in the garden, and after a meal of seeds and apple, she went back to her home in the wood pile in front of the sumac trees.
She looks like a she to me.
A she with a truck-driver appetite.
I'll keep you posted on a possible
new romance at the mouse-house.
Annie will continue to enjoy our sunny days and wishes you a very happy weekend.
hugs, Deb
