Grandma's Garden
Mr. Penguin had the opportunity this past weekend to see what a real garden looks like. It was eye opening. The man and woman told me about this lush, verdant garden and I decided I must see it for myself. I could view it from the window....
....but decided it required closer examination. So I headed outside to get a closer look.
Oh, the variety! So many different types of vegetables and herbs; much more than Mr. Penguin has in his humble pot garden.
I was also very impressed by the size of the plants. They were so tall and full; it was like a neat, orderly jungle.
I gave the garden a thorough inspection and took a lot of notes for future reference. Someday, I hope to have a similar luxuriant garden. But for now I’m content with my modest little garden which, luckily, doesn’t require much work.
Speaking of my garden, on wednesday the woman bought me a lettuce planter with three kinds of lettuce. We planted them that afternoon and today they have already sprouted!
I had trouble getting a good photo of my sprouts. It is so humid here the camera lens fogs up as soon as I get outside. I have to wipe the lens, then try to get a good shot before the lens gets cloudy again up. *Puff*
