Poem

Space Overtaken

To many tomatoes fill up my fridge
Grown from the garden, a tasty delish
When seeds were first sown, did a no show
Planted some more, twice many did grow

Offered some out to family and friends
But they had themselves twenty times ten
With seedlings now to many to count
Not one to be wasted began to place out

Seedlings aligned in the vegetable patch 
Garden plants nursery waiting to hatch
Some in pots and oblong planters
Hanging baskets - swaying decanters

Nurtured an watered sun on them all
Grew so well some ever so tall
Hundreds of flowers waiting to bare fruits
Slugs and snails hide, waiting to loot

Bees humming as they pollinated
Tiny green balls soon generated
Twice weekly fed grew them much bigger
Some so big grew skin much thicker

As time went by they started to turn 
Green to red ripen by suns burn
Fast yielded more than could be eaten
Gave many away, space overtaken

Made soup, mine was just water and pips
Oven dried toms but burnt them to crisps
What ever I tried I failed miserably 
Even the sauce was clumpy and gooey

Ripened so fast twice daily out picking
Got to admit they gave me a butt kicking
Next year will buy only plants that I need 
Instead will grow flowers for insects to feed

Then sit in my garden with wine on the table
Enjoying the birds and the nests that they cradle
Nature is intended to what it should be
Left in its harmony and natural beauty.
