How Does Your Garden Grow?


My name is not Mary but I do have a vegetable garden and it has been growing all sorts of things.

It’s gone from this:

To this:

To this overgrown mess:

July 26, 2006

We’ve had loads of cucumbers and squash. But lately, I’ve noticed some rather, errr, strange vegetables.

I don’t recall planting pumpkins.

Or peas.

Or eggplants and radishes.

They sure are cute, though. And they’ve been sent off to Ilene at the WIC Office in Brockton for distribution at their nutrition classes during the month of August.

I can’t imagine what will turn up next.

    I just took the same picture of my eggplant hat lounging in my lazy Susans, which is going off to the same place. Great minds. . .
