No matter where we live or what we do, our nurturing instinct just likes to make things grow, whether it is plants, veggies, children, pets, knitted Wenda Dottridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086728367896516923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-47509190522818212462009-09-22T20:38:32.080-04:002009-09-22T20:38:32.080-04:00Isn't that the joy of a harsh climate - how we...Isn't that the joy of a harsh climate - how well appreciated spring is? I live very close to a field that is half community garden and half prairie. So without a garden of my own I can enjoy the sight and smells of the garden bounty all summer.

For, with a true in-the-soil garden comes not only God's delicious foods, but also God's flying and crawling (not to mention slithering) bugs. And they, to put it mildly, bug me! It was wonderful to meet you. You are one of God's treasures.Connie Marquisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783619831204895170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-79897382737677897842009-09-22T11:10:14.912-04:002009-09-22T11:10:14.912-04:00Loved the post Wenda.

I love our garden too and love taking my granddaughter to pick carrots to eat for ourselves and, as an extra benefit we sometimes pull some out to feed the horses. I'm always amazed at how much comes from such a small amount of seed.

One of my dear friends plants vegetables every year and shares some of her produce which is such a blessing. It just makes me feel loved since I know how much hard work and effort she puts into her garden.<br /><br /><br />Cherie Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16767627787231269781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-78483383823375358282009-09-20T19:38:59.662-04:002009-09-20T19:38:59.662-04:00Hey Wenda,

I'm not at all surprised that you long for and work for the joys of a small garden. We don't really need the 'groceries' as you say, but for me it provides food for the soul. <br /><br />Granted, it's not for everyone but I do so miss my days of vegetable gardening atDebra E.

They are prickly and monopolize everything to the point of choking out life.<br /><br />Keep the onions all in a row or they get lost in the midst of all the other leaves and shoots.<br /><br />Draw your own Patti Lacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00687666130404407814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502152359497137754.post-549408870789455122009-09-20T13:13:04.936-04:002009-09-20T13:13:04.936-04:00I not really much of a gardener.

Probably because I have too many allergies and always end up feeling itchy and prickly. Hmm, I wonder it there is a metaphor in that somewhere.<br /><br />I enjoyed reading your experiences, though.
