Disappointing Year For Flowers
It was a disappointing year for flowers
seeds were planted in the Spring,
I was hoping for lots of colour
assorted lilies, calendulas and everything.
Beetles ate my assorted lilies
caterpillars attacked the apple trees,
my heart was breaking in two
when there was nothing sweet for the bees.
I hope next year will be better
my assorted lilies, I'd love to smell,
see more apples grow on the trees
who knows? Only God can tell.

I planted many different flower seeds this year and it was truly disappointing when I ended up having a lot less than a quarter of flowers pop from the seeds I planted. I planted double marigolds and they all went right to seed during the Summer.
