In the garden today, mama aloe is working overtime cooking up tender new shoots in preparation for the upcoming sunburn season…
In the garden today, the milkweed is flirting with the monarchs in hopes that she can fulfill the gardener’s request for some chrysalises for her new, well actually used, butterfly exhibit…
In the garden today, the mama lemon tree beamed at her young little bumpy green skinned babies held safely ten feet off the ground and out of reach of the gardener’s brutal boys who have a history of picking the lower hanging lemons and substituting them for baseballs…
In the garden today, the mama tomato is stretching higher and higher and exceeding the gardener’s expectations. She has reached the top of the five foot trellis and isn’t stopping anytime soon…
In the garden today, the parsley family has outgrown their apartment. The chef has been creative in the kitchen, but one can only consume a certain amount of this herb…
In the garden today, mama watermelon flaunts her fertility…
In the garden today, she is quite smitten with the freshest baby in the patch…
In the garden today, this suckling baby soaks up the rays while growing plumper by the minute…
In the garden today, the grapes are celebrating their firstborns as well. The chef will be researching grape recipes tonight. Hmmmm… Grape Salsa sounds yummy!
In the garden today, another first is celebrated by these guys. Blackberries or black raspberries? The scatter brained gardener can’t really remember, but is celebrating along side them anyway…
In the garden today, the bananas have baby envy as they have none. They are still repairing from a devastating frost months ago that the gardener failed to protect them from like other gardeners in the neighborhood. Would it have been too much to ask for some old bed sheets?
In the garden today, the hibiscus is less concerned about all the baby news and more concerned with her own beauty. I confess, if I were this striking, I might have trouble focusing on others as well…
In the garden today, the cherry tree is pregnant with blossoms on every branch…
In the garden today, she even has a few fresh offspring to show for her efforts…
In the garden today, a harvest is complete, the tomato moms have been gracious to give up their tender young offspring to the relatively heartless, fairly neglectful but most appreciative gardener.
