I remember seeing your pic of the beauteous plenteous apple trees. I was green (and wormy) with envy. Such a wonderful orchard!!
I have a garden I talk about so much, people might think it's acres; but really it's a little-bitty thing: a patch here and patch there, wherever I have a sunny spot. But it given me an enormous amount of pleasure. When my pole beans climb up the trellises, I feel as clever as if I had climbed up there myself. And when my squashes start fruiting I am as proud as a preggo!
