Bounty


Sharing the greenery from our front yard. Peppers above, basil, and tomatoes below. I raided the garden some time ago with my parents' help (not a green thumb here). After my mother snipped a bitter melon from its stem, she told the plant "Thank you." She turned to me and said, "I always tell them thank you." Loony, but it probably works. I've heard gardeners being advised to talk to their plants to help them bloom. Veggies aplenty and I've had my share of roughage (lots of beans!) to last me the rest of the year.

Well, it may or may not make the plants feel better but it makes the gardener feel better (which is all that counts.) :-)
