In the Eye of the Beholder

Justify Full
Yes, this is my current garden. It's gotten so big that it's actually getting hard to see out the kitchen window. What a wonderful surprise! Speaking of surprises...

This is my most recent harvest of peppers and tomatoes. I thought it was really the most beautiful shades of red, orange, and yellow - like a little fruit rainbow. It's too bad I didn't have a purple eggplant in there to really make it pop! The big tomato on the right was as big as my hand - definitely the biggest I've ever grown.

I guess I owe some thanks to Mr. Edward C. Smith, author of Incredible Vegetables from Self-Watering Containers, for all that I learned this year, and to Gardener's Supply Company (the great online company that provided most of my supplies) for such a fantastic garden...and of course I always think of our great Creator from which all life in nature flows. Wow! He has made everything beautiful in its time. I may be the caretaker but He is certainly the Creator. I continually stand amazed!

In the wonder of it all
I find a calming sense of peace
Of all that is created
In my little garden space!

  1. WOW! How amazing is that.... I'm so glad to see that your efforts have been paying off. I'd love to take some of the fresh produce off your hands but I think it'd be kind of icky by the time it got to me. :-) Love ya....S
