Mary Mary Quite Contrary!

   Mary, Mary, quite contrary,

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells, and cockle shells,

And pretty maids all in a row.

I thought this poem was fitting because it was my Nana’s name and she had the best garden of anyone I have ever met. She passed away in February and I am growing my garden in honor of her (I have a feeling she is helping me out :)

My poem would be more like:

Ali, Ali of the valley,

How does your garden grow?

With broccoli and cucumbers,

And lettuce all in a row.

Here is an update on my garden:

  • cucumbers
  • butternut squash
  • acorn squash
  • peppers
  • tomatoes
  • zucchini

I hope they keep growing!

    I only WISH I had the motivation to do a veggie garden. My hubby used to have one every summer but it was SO much work and took away from golf time. Bummer. Your garden looks fantastic. Can’t wait to see the finished produce.
