Love in the Vegetable Garden
Love in the vegetable garden is like love the world-over – it is hard work - but the more loving effort one pours in, the greater the harvest.
Plants work hard, so they need a top quality site, soil and management.
But, first the gardener has to make his bed- with all the loving care he can muster.
He uses walkways, or duckboards, so that no-one walks on the precious vegetable bed.
To show his love, he makes a definite edge to the vegetable bed,so that everyone knows how important the garden soil is.
The vegetable plants will respond to the love & attention given to the vegetable garden, by working hard and growing to their full potential.
How true that is! Veggies do respond to love… I learned the hard way about not having proper walkways in my veggie garden.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

The more you do for you veggies the more they will reward you! Makes sense to me.

You are so right - that is what is so rewarding about growing veg - they respond to being looked after!

You’re killing me again, TopVeg. I look at your perfect walkways and duckboards and I drool with envy and shame. I am, as ever, lost in admiration.
