Eating What We Sow

To plant a garden makes us whole.

It warms the heart and feeds the soul.

No sweeter feast will e'er be known

than eating what our hands have grown.

    Oh what a yummy salad you'll be eating! We wish we had more sunshine. Our neighbors do share with us though, thank goodness.

    I love eating what we sew... sadly it isn't enough to replace shopping, but it is fun!

    Very impressive. I'm not much of a gardener myself but thank goodness for those who are! My father-in-law keeps up supplied with fresh veggies throughout the summer.

    My Grands are forever picking 'lunch' out of the garden. Yesterday Morgan said, "Let's see what I can eat out there" afer preschool. She got some berries and cherry tomatoes. She chastised the cucumbers to 'hurry up and get bigger!"

    Cute post!

    and they are bio or organic, that's for sure and you don't have to pay horrendous prices for them in special shops !

    It's true - nothing tastes better than vegetables and fruits fresh from the sunny garden. I really do need to have LaMar build me a garden box for the patio, so we can enjoy such deliciousness this summer and fall.

    nice. lovely little verse and how true...we have become so seperated from what we eat and in doing so think lose much of the experience...

    If it ever stops raining, I may get our garden in. It will be Sept. or maybe even Christmas before we harvest at this rate!

    I bought my plants and have my seeds, now I'm just waiting for the rain to stop coming. I really love your raised beds. Ours need redone and I think I might do it like yours. ;)

    Yummm! That looks delicious, and I love your sweet little poem. It would be perfect on a plack right by a garden. Would you mind if I did that?

    I have only planted a garden once. Last year. It didn't do too well. Except for the tomatoes. They were aweseome. But no fear, we will be doing boxes this year....but I buy my veggies already growing. I'm sneaky that way.

    Square foot gardening?? I was planting outside this week and hope to have it done by next weekend, although it is cold and rainy enough it may just wait for Noah to go by to make it grow!!

    37 posts? Oh my gosh. This you get from a four line poem. Of course the pictures have a lot to do with it, I am sure. It makes me keep wishing we had an actual vegetable garden that we could eat from, but I'm aftaid that will never happen here. I'm sure the kids will continue to get a big kick out of the things they will be able to eat in their garden.
