The Garden of Good and Evil

There are things that occur that are sometimes beyond explanation. When Adam and Eve were in the Garden of Eden, there apparently was a talking snake. I imagine that the snake that my Hubby killed last week might have been a talking snake, and his last words were certainly , "oh, ssssssshit that's gonna leave a sssssssssscar you basssss- " (clunk, dead, ptooey). Our little garden is always busy. There are chipmunks, birds, rabbits, and the fish in our tiny pond. It is the sort of the community center or local bar for the neighborhood's wildlife.

One of the incredible things that happened in our yard during our absence was the propagation of a lot of plants. We have transplanted and saved about 5 fairly large plants that grew from seed spreading on its own. I guess that was a benefit from having a bazillion gallons of water shot through our house and into our backyard. It mixed things up a bit!

Last week I posted some pictures of my flowers and spoke to my future vegetable garden. We have a couple of small raised beds in the yard that serve as flower beds and a spot for our veggies. Oddly enough, we have things growing there that we didn't plant this year. For instance, there is a bumper crop of lettuce and in the middle of the lettuce there are carrots neither of which we planned for.

Pretty cool, no? I guess this is what they call having a garden "go to seed." 

There's that other expression too, something about "going to pot."

 I think my garden may have taken this one too literally.

The leaves are too broad...
It should be taller before it leafs out...
Somebody "do be" messing with you...
It's a weed, yeah, you think?...weed?...

Anyone? Really, anyone?
