In My Sisters' Garden

Peppers and egg plant,

sunflower,

watermelon,

pumpkin,

chives,

okra,

and marigolds.

The end of season is near,

for the garden

and for the butterfly.

Remnants and Beginnings

Edible soy beans

The garden is on its last legs,

and Beverly is putting in a late fall garden.

We have a few beans.

and okra is still growing.

We are blessed with peppers.

The hens are still laying

and Marcy is working the bony peaches.

A Gardner's Poem...

Marcy grew the okra

And so could you

But the spiderweb was something

She could never do.

Created at night

Bejeweled with dew

The Spider had the art

no gardener knew!
