Today, I went out to water my garden, and I saw dirt cracking all over the place.
Here is another spot of cracked dirt. Only this one you can see the sprout if you look inside. Squash, I believe. Zucchini, I hope.
You are looking at okra. Farmer J and his family LOVE okra.
I know it is okra because of the seed hull on the tallest plant. I am afraid to pick it off. I don't want to damage the leaves.
Can't you hear the choir of Angels singing!?! "Ahhhhhh....men!" I LOVE tomatoes...straight...from...the...garden! Beefsteak.
Anahiem chili. For Farmer J.
Looks like another tomato to me (right in the center). I have to say that today is a very good day. I am so blessed to be able to see the progress of my hard work. And...of the hard work of the people who love me.
I can see my 'dream' is growing legs. Will it walk? Will it run? I guess it really doesn't matter, because I am riding this pony to the end, whatever that entails.
So I rejoice in the moment. I can see tomato preserves, pickled peppers, ham and beans, pesto, salsa, gumbo, I could go on forever. What I am really looking forward to is enough zucchini to fund my bread needs.
In a few weeks, my garden will be looking so much different, but for today...it looks marvelous!
