~ A Random Walk... ~

...into my garden this morning led to this small harvest.


If you have access to any patch of soil, or a any type of (raised) garden bed, or even just a large pot - Do yourself a favor and plant yourself a little garden.  Seriously!


Plant something that you will use...or something that you would find useful to have fresh, daily.  In other words, do not plant a gourd if you do not plan to use it...and do not plant something (like a gourd) to use as a decoration.  Plant it.  Grow it.  Eat it.  You will be satisfied.

Do not say that you do not have a green thumb!  Things grow with soil, water & sun.  So you see, thumbs are extremely helpful, but not mandatory.  :o)

It is such a treat to find these treasures waiting for you to find...


hopefully before little wild creatures get to them first!

"Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail, who
were good little bunnies, went down
the lane to gather blackberries;
But Peter, who was very naughty,
ran straight away to Mr. McGregor's
garden, and squeezed under the gate!
First he ate some lettuces and some
French beans; and then he ate some
radishes..."  ~ Beatrix Potter

  1. Hi Valerie!
    This post is inspiring and your harvest looks delicious! :) When I grow up I want to have a garden :) LOL! Maybe one day I'll make the time to have a garden with my children. Thank you for stopping by my Edible Donut Rosary post and commenting...now if gardening was as easy as making a donut rosary, I'd be set :) Have a blessed day!
