How does your garden grow?

Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary...how does your garden grow...

Well how does it grow? Well it grows lush, green, and full food! And good food. My childhood is full of vivid memories of my grandparents garden. I would spend some of summer vacation with them every year ~ deep in the trenches of their garden. Pulling weeds, picking berries, and the occasional gopher homicide would occur. But that's the life of the "gardener". My green thumb was found at a young age and even know at 33 it's still going strong as ever. And now I have passed it onto Barry who has actually become a bit of a garden hoarder...garden obsessive complusive disorder...garden stalker....all seem quite fitting.

So into the jungle of our garden...we have 25 tomatoes plants, 10 peppers (which are 85 days until maturity I am forever reminded of by Mr. Gardener), three rows of wax and green beans, romaine, carrots, potatoes, leaf lettuce, and the wonderful two rows of plentiful raspberries. Just the word raspberry makes my mouth water. YUMMMMMMMMY.

And to think that all winter while everyone is eating tasteless cans of supermarket tomatoes, beans, and carrots...Mr. Gardener and I will be living the dream at our kitchen table which will reek of plentiful flavour. Mmmmmmm....the thought just makes me want to salivate.

Just think my budget of $15.00 for seeds will feed us for a year. Amazing to think that such a small amount of money can reap such huge benefits! Our ancestors lived this way so why can't society adapt backwards again...Mr. Gardener sure did...easy transition folks...
