Summer Dreaming

It's that time of year again. If you're a gardener, you know what I'm talking about. That's right, it's seed catalog time. They come daily, glossy pages filled with gorgeous photos of produce that seems too amazing to be real. The lure of growing such wonders is strong, and I grab a pencil and order form and...

No!

This summer I am not planting an enormous garden. Last year I planted four dozen tomato plants. That's right. Four dozen. A temporary lapse of sanity brought on my circumstances which left the pantry shelves heavy with jars of red tomatoes.

This year, a small garden. Tiny, even. A couple of peppers. Eggplants. Zucchini. And, okay, maybe a tomato. Or two. But no need to sharpen my pencil or fill out an order form for that.

Still...the pages speak to me.

What about you? Do you garden?

Those seed catalogs are like crack to me. LOL.

This year I'm expanding the garden, but only to feed the animals.

I planted three dozen tomatoes last year and my crop was a flop. *sigh*

Good luck with your garden. I'm SO ready to start planting!!
