Haiku Your Garden Grow?

April 17th, 2008 . by Joyce

Question of the day:

What to plant in the garden?

It’s time to decide.

Everyone enjoys

Green beans, broccoli, carrots,

Pumpkins, maybe leeks.

I’ll need cucumbers;

Want to try brining pickles

The old-fashioned way.

That brings to mind beets;

Also delicious pickled;

We need to plant some.

Something not veggie,

Want to see them everywhere:

Smiling sunflowers.

Don’t do much canning,

But we do love fresh produce

Grown in our backyard.

    I love gardens! If you want something not veggie try rhubarb. It grows in any type of soil and I have a fabulous jam recipe.
    Happy Haiku Friday!

    I have such a black thumb. Have to get my veggies at the farmers market (NOT the grocers) during the summer, as I love the smell of fresh garden veggies.

    Excellent ‘ku! My dream is to someday garden, but I currently have no place to do it and zero knowledge about it. I just live down in Oregon, so maybe I’ll come up for a salad ;)
