On the Joys of Plant Personification...








Besides all the good it is for the environment and for the health of your family...besides all the mystic wonder and meditation-fodder you can find in its evolving seasons, the garden should be a place to have fun! My new blog-friend, Reality Jane, helps me remember that important garden postulate!






I have named all my garden plants :



Cherry Tomato: Chico



Regular Tomato: Big Red



Pepper Plants: Pepper, Patty, and Paul Bell
(FYI...My cucumber plant , Clyde, had his creepy little vines around Patty Bell this morning.)


Banana Pepper: Spicy Joe Johnson



Carrots: I just call them all baby sprouts...hehe



Cucumber : Clyde the Vine
(Look at my garden!!!! Can you believe....??? My cucumber plant, Cucumber Clyde the Vine , is trying to be somewhat aggressive and is causing some havoc in the raised bed...I have been trying to persuade him to wander toward the wood pile....He is a gangster, for sure.)




Watermelon: Melony Sweet



I know I'm weird......I..pretty much....... have no life.


May your garden always be such a fun place, Jane! You absolutely make me interested in the saga of your plants' ongoing lives.

  2. I'm so glad she was in your blog roll. That's where I found her. I think that's also where she found me. She has such a delightful sense of humor!
