Quote of the Moment
"There is no gardening without humility. Nature is constantly sending even its oldest scholars to the bottom of the class for some egregious blunder." ~Alfred Austin, 1951
Do you carrot all for me?
My heart beets for you,
With your turnip nose
And your radish face,
You are a peach.
If we cantaloupe,
Lettuce marry;
Weed make a swell pear.
I'd love to know who the "Anonymous" is that wrote this little gem! Guess it's an important lesson to all wannabe poets to always put your name on your paper! LOL
We're a family of four living in semi-rural Central Florida (Zone 9b) with a brand new square foot garden. We used to have a 468 square foot vegetable garden, but it was a wash out - literally. I'm Kate and I have a devastating case of black thumb. We had originally planned on growing a magnificent vegetable garden so we could rely less on the grocery store produce aisle and more on ourselves, but so far the green thumb remains elusive. We'll continue to plant with the hopes that eventually we'll learn enough to make this unskilled gardening gig worthwhile. Until then this blog will feature a mix of gardening exploits, kid crafts & learning, living green, raising a small flock of urban chickens, and life in Central Florida.

Ha Ha That is cute :)
That was funny! I wanted to make a smart come back to your poem, but all I could think of was...lettuce, turnip and pea!
Too cute, and I love the edible heart!
