Carolyn’s Gardening Delights

February 15, 2015

Carolyn, Carolyn, please tell us, where does your garden grow?

On sloped, dirt hills, with crickets and ants, that’s where my garden grows.

Carolyn, Carolyn, please tell us, what does your garden grow?

2 kilo zucchinis, sweet corn and peas, pumpkins, tomatoes and multicoloured beans, that’s what my garden grows!

Carolyn, Carolyn, please tell us, who delights in your garden?

Myself, everyday, friends and family, birds, butterflies and bees, of course, that’s who delights in my garden.

    Wow, a good rhyme and garden:) —impressed up-over with production down-under— WARNING— It’s zucchini season, close your car windows!!! Pumpkin names–how about Gourd and Sheila (be an aussisome pumpkin):) Starting a new trend– beautiful front yard flowers and greens that are yummy in your tummy:) !!! Is the ghost zucchini a butternut squash by chance? Let me know when the soup is ready:) Cheers, Marilyn

      Great name suggestions. I’ll have to make some name tags, maybe. The ghost zucchini is not a butternut squash but another variety of zucchini. We are sure getting our vitamins these days! 😉

    OH my goodness Carolyn Your garden is growing such yummy things!! Congratulations :-). Wish I were there to try out all those things. I think it’s so interesting how similar the pumpkin and zucchini flowers are. And they are both yummy too I’ve heard. LOL! Enjoy the harvest and feast! Xo Cara

    Wow, that hot weather and your consistant watering IS paying off – although the corn looks a bit small. How does it taste? Enjoy it before the slug do.

      The carrots are the yummiest! The corn featured is past it’s prime so it is going to seed. The second round of corn is nearing full growth – just a couple more weeks! 🙂
