Before the fruits of prosperity can come,
the storms of life need to first bring
the required rains of testing,
which mixes with the seeds of wisdom
to produce a mature harvest.

I thought I had planted tomato seeds, but somehow
I got a rainbow of sweet garden candy instead!

My Humble Ode to a Humble Vegetable
Ah Zucchini – treasured friend
I soon will mourn the summer’s end.
Thy speckled flesh and frolicking flower
Are coming to their finishing hour.
Sauteed and raw, I’m feasting now
Before you take your final bow.

A tomato is born!
I’m fascinated with how a fruit or vegetable
comes into being from a flower.
You might call me a “produce midwife”.

Like any proud gardener Momma,
I couldn’t resist showing off my adorable new baby eggplant.
He weighs in at .78 oz and is 1.48″ long from cap to bottom.
