Mother’s Day came
early this year, just like last year. Mike started his gardening project in
March. He said he wasn’t going to plant a lot, just a few things at first. He
planted one tomato plant, lettuce seeds, Asian melon, and strawberry plants. He
then transplanted some jalapeno plants that survived last summer’s drought and
the winter cold.
By April 28th the strawberry plant had taken
hold and started to look lush and green. Pretty little white flower buds peeked
boldly out from behind vivid green foliage. Every time I stepped out into the
yard, my heart sang a merry little tune.
Tiny yellow flower buds had popped open on the tomato
plant a couple of weeks earlier. Now there was a nice little tomato making its
appearance, just as cute as you please. Needless to say, I watered, watched,
and waited.
My cute little tomato bud had turned into a full-blown
salad filler by April 28th. So I watered, watched and, waited some
more … patiently.
The only thing to do now is give it time to grow a little more – and turn red. The salad bowl is ready, so is my stomach. It’s time to stop now I’m making myself hungry here.

So, what am I getting for Mother’s Day? I already have it, way early. Thanks to Mike I have a
beautiful garden to enjoy.
Happy Mother's Day everyone. I hope your day is filled with love and happiness!
Blessings and happy mother's day. OMG I just realized I didn't get my mother anything, holy crap. Hmmmm well now lets see I always have new purchases stashed away so I'll have to check out what is there that is suited specifically for her. As for what am getting ha, well its always combined with my birthday so whatever i get for my birthday doubles as my mother's day, so we'll see.

Happy Mothers Day!! And you have jalapeno plants? Wow, now that's something I'd like in my garden. xo
ReplyDeleteLeona, Happy Mother's Day and I hope your day was very special! What a beautiful gift. You'll remember it each time you eat a salad. (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteYou had a blessed Mother's Day with the love of your family and that makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteI came to thank you for coming to see me and check on Mom. She still misses me and she always will I think. She does have Katie Isabella though to love and be loved by.
xoxoxox to you my dear friend.
I love watching things grow in the garden too. Our tomatoes have not done well though. The birds kept waiting for the fruits to show any sign of red. I've got a pineapple that's just about ready to be picked. I think that and the lemons are the only things the birds won't eat.
