The tomato farm has burgeoned nicely. We had a small harvest this weekend - almost enough tomatoes for a salad! There is great satisfaction in eating something warm from the garden. The strawberries keep disappearing on me, though. One day there is a cluster of shining scarlet fruit, and the next day - nothing! I don't know if we have an industrial grade of hungry insects or if the Evil Roxanne has developed a penchant for delectable young fruit. The strawberry plants are not near the tantalizing cat nip plant.
So many life lessons (and metaphors) to be had in the garden...
