The Gardener, Season Two

Last year, Jeff astonished us all by his decision to take on the garden...and by his subsequent success.  The garden, under his steady, energetic, youthful :), careful hands, did better than it had during any of the years that I was helping with it.  ;-)

Now that March is here and has come in like a lamb, Jeff is back at it, ready for another season of hours in the garden, late suppers, sore backs, and delicious, healthy produce that is the envy of any chef anywhere.  I am keenly aware today of how blessed I am to have a husband that does this!  And that wants to do this!

The first order of business was clearing last fall's debris from the garden. Fortunately, Jeff is surrounded by little helpers who are enjoying the spring-like weather and getting Vitamin D from the beautiful sunshine while learning about tending a garden and spending time with their beloved daddy.  Win-win-win-win!

Some people fill their time with watching TV.  And then there are country folks, who'd rather spend their leisure hours drinking iced tea and watching their garden grow. 

Or, in my case, watching The Gardener {and his sons} work.  ;-)
