"A Pleasant Surprise :o)"



Taking a short walk to the garden just for the sake of a short walk...what did I see ..a nice patch of green ..and I had a moment of rejoicing...
Cecil had taken up the potatoes and just "sowed" a little bit of the seeds just to see if something would become of them..well,like they say nothing beats a failure but a try...and it's very encouraging to see we could grow Broccoli Robe here in NC...Hopefully we can have more space next year to have plenty...the little that I bought didn't do well freezing...so I will have to pick and eat them as they grow...guess I can manage that :o)...

  1. What a nice surprise! Picking and eating it as it grows sounds like a good plan to me. Fresh from the garden is how it usually tastes best to me anyway. :)

  2. Daisy, I won't have to be forced to eat them :o)...probably eat them while they are trying to grow bigger will be the problem :o)

  3. Hi sweet Ginny! Good that you got to go out for a short walk. I thought about you today, the farmers are out in the back field getting all of the cotton harvested. Take good care of yourself. blessings,Kathleen

  4. Leave it to you to have a garden growing when you aren't up for gardening!

  5. I do love that expression; "nothing beats a failure but a try". I had never heard it before. Good for you and Cecil for getting some more greens going this late in the season. I'm glad you're able to get out and enjoy a nice walk on these pretty days.

  6. Daisy, nothing like fresh greens :o)..I eat some of the buds raw :o)
    Kathleen, I'm sick I can't beg for some cotton,but I haven't spun up last years..I'm way behind..
    Deborah, thank God I can bend a little to pluck them out of the ground ..Cecil can't..
    Ladydi, I've got a number of expressions,stay tuned for more :o)
