The tomatoes are caged.
The peppers and eggplants are staked.
The broccoli is sitting in the dirt; trembling with excitement.
NOW, “I command thee to GROW and feed me.”
I tend to get a little bossy at times….Of course, I say it in a nice tone, that makes a difference. Right?

I'm sure they'll all listen since you used a nice tone when talking to them. Besides, your garden looks too good not to grow.

How wonderful to still be able to garden. The weather is getting close to winter in the Maritimes. My garden is a distant memory. Have fun with your green thumb Suz! 🙂

Well, they say that plants are sensitive to such things. Having a \”brown thumb,\” I wouldn't know. But I will follow the progress of your growing things! =)

Nothing tastes better than vegetables fresh from the garden. Is your growing season year round or do you have a little break during the winter?

If you feed them they will feed you (I think that's the way it works).
