Reaping The Rewards...

from hard, hard work.

Battling through the heat, drought, bugs and garden eaters, the garden has paid my sisters with great rewards.

Grow on, sweet garden.

Thank you, good sisters, for working so hard.

Now, what's for supper?

Seymour is not too excited.

I am not a vegetable garden person so you will not catch me hoeing or pulling weeds. I think that goes back to my childhood of having to weed all the time! The only thing I have ever weeded voluntarily have been my few select rock displays and my water gardens.

Wait, I did volunteer one time to pull up all the bitter weed in the pasture because the milk cow got it in her milk. Yuck, you have never tasted anything quite like bitter weed milk. I got side tracked...back to the garden.

I have no problem preparing the earth, hauling manure to feed it, but have no desire to plant and nurture and grow a garden. So anything that comes from the garden is thanks to Beverly and Marcy who do not have the problem I have with gardens...and thanks to hubby for all his hauling, breaking and plowing, just not me.

~

I am more of a tree girl, plant it, leave it, let it grow. Rocks do not have to be watered so I am content with them. You only have to rearrange them if the stock comes through or a dog is looking for some varmint. This is why I have two rocks porches and two water gardens and one flower bed of rocks taken over with pineapple sage, twice a year, I pull the sage and throw it away.

~

If it were totally up to me, I would have no lawn, but rocks with a stock fence very close to the house so they could do all my trimming.

~

Today is my day to sidetrack I see, I could change it but I will let it stand.

The stir fry was wonderful. The garden is good and I am benefiting even if I have not pulled a weed...nice sisters, I have!
