Dear Deer who is gettin’ all fat offa my flowers,

Stop it! You can have the weeds - all 3 acres of ‘em! I have only a select number of potted plants, and those flowers were not lovingly planted and sprinkled with Miracle Gro for you and your belly. I did all that for me and mine-sesses. The flowers are for beautification of my front porch, not for satiation of your appetite, nor for your gestational purposes.

When I walked out my front door this morning - it looked like horticultural massacre! Look what you did to my pretty flowers!!!

Little Deer… I’m here to tell ya, DON’T MESS WITH MAH FLOWERS!!!

Don’t you get all “Bambi-eyed” on me! I’m not falling for it. No more flowers for breakfast!

Do you hear me??? 

I said… !!! Do. You. HEAR. ME???!!!

Careful my four-legged friends, for if you do not heed my caution - next time I make ground turkey chili (while wearing my Confidence Apron, of course!) - I will make it with VENISON instead.

You have been warned.

Whoever said “three’s a crowd”…

Three's a Crowd???

never met my garden!

Chicken Poop


That’s my secret to growing a monster zucchini:)

Look what I found in my garden!!!


Stinkin’ beautiful!!!

Rejected


The kids weren’t wild about their new “treat”.

Results


In my line of work (motherhood), much of what I do gets undone. Except for a few pesky slugs, I have found an outlet that gives results - my garden. The radishes were eaten by rollie-pollies, the carrots may not grow to full size, BUT I have healthy, beautiful zucchinis, cucumbers, green beans, and possibly 2 kinds of tomatoes and savory rosemary! I’m still waiting to see what happens with my bell peppers… Woohoo!

Mary, Mary, quite contrary…


How does your garden grow?
