We always "share" our hard work with the current occupants, but we "share more" with ourselves and our friends. Everybody's happy, (including the strawberry plants!); so the arrangement has actually worked out very well. <br /><br />On our small wooden deck (just off the Kitchen), I plant flowers in 3 rectangular planters. One year, I had magenta, pink, and white cosmos flowers swaying gently, all Summer long, in the breeze; and I often thought of Edna St. Vincent Millay's kind, nature-loving words: <br /><br />"I will be the gladdest thing under the sun...<br />I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one!"Rosannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17290435002631069643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-87450390145680458772011-03-22T05:28:15.722-07:002011-03-22T05:28:15.722-07:00I hope you do like my wifey and leave the max comb...I hope you do like my wifey and leave the max combings on the fence post for the birds to find.<br />Garden fresh tomato, white bread, mayo, salt and coarse ground black pepper,mmmmmmm.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10886466519790494635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-70155882875562367862011-03-21T19:15:29.439-07:002011-03-21T19:15:29.439-07:00Mmmm!
