This is the time of year that mom & dad's garden wakes up, rubs its eyes, yawns, and starts churning out a steady supply of wonderful fresh veggies and herbs. It gives forth treats like Swiss chard, peas, basil, dill, heirloom tomatoes, and various squashes including zucchini.
And I love it all. I always impatiently look forward to getting my son-in-law's allotment of this wonderful luscious bounty.
And bounty there is. Mom & dad spend most of the year throwing organic matter on the garden soil, things like banana peels and coffee grinds. This is then tilled in and the soil is as fertile as a rabbit in the spring. Sometimes it's scary seeing how fast things grow here. You have to keep out of the way.
Heather is over there right now. I can't wait to see what she brings back!
