Alas, I am no gardener . . .
Still, I so appreciate the gifts
Mother Earth and real gardeners
bring to the table.
A dear friend of mine asked me if
she could give me some marigolds.
I was well pleased as it is our
special flower in Mexico for the
three-day celebration of Days of
the Dead.
I asked her how many and she
answered she had a dozen . . .
What she neglected to say was
that there were twelve seedlings
in each little black box. I only
didn't faint because the floor
was so hard!
Just guess how I spent yesterday!
Still, it was interesting and even
a bit fun. I planted them in my
whiskey barrels, probably way
too close together, but they're
planted.
Another friend gifted me three
unusual tomato plants. I'm so
excited about these and pray
they survive and bring their
fruit to my table.
What interesting lives you
gardeners must lead . . .
from seeds to seedlings
gardening a precious gift
from earth to table
