Life is good
The tomatoes in containers on my deck are ripening – 1-3 a day. One plant has 41 tomatoes on it. The cucumbers in pots in front of the house have been incredibly prolific – lots of lemon cukes and a number of regular shaped green ones.
I tried putting the containers in the front of the house for the first time this spring. Our house faces South. It worked! The deer that graze through our neighborhood ate other plants. While I will plant more containers to put there next summer, I will not count my cukes before they grow.
Life is like that – we can hope that a successful experiment will repeat itself but we can’t control all the variables. We can control our attitude. That’s why for me right now – life is good. I can eat fresh cukes and tomatoes for lunch these days. What could be better!
Plus I just completed needle felting a little Pooh Bear. I hope he brightens your day!
