When you’ve worked in a garden, something happens to you. You begin to pay more attention to the rain, the temperature and sunshine and how it affects your plot of land.
You peer down at the soil looking for signs of life. Have your squash seeds sprouted? Are the beans going to climb up that trellis?
Some plantings have flourished and are bearing fruit, others have peaked and need tender loving care.
What I am saying is-you are now emotionally involved with a garden plot and it makes it very hard to leave town.
That is the state I am in and so yesterday I walked through our gardens and took these pictures.
