How my garden grows ...

"The beautiful spring came;

and when Nature resumes her loveliness,

the human soul is apt to revive also.

- Harriet Ann Jacobs

It may not be a huge garden like the gardens I grew up with but I could not be more proud. Rows of sunflowers, potatoes, pole beans, red and green romane and mesclun lettuce, carrots, onions, radishs, and several types of tomatoes make up my little garden.

And last but not least... our little Toad Prince, who we found and placed in our garden to protect it against the onslaught of tater bugs, snails and slugs. May he prosper with an everlasting full belly.
