Garden

Through the cracks in my paving I'm growing lemon thyme The rosemary I'm saving In my cooking will taste divine. Apple mint and dill, Parsley and chives Basil and coriander, Oregano and sage The fragrances in our gardens Stay with us all our lives. Some strange people call them egg plants but aubergines are their real names My courgettes and tomatoes Now planted in cold frames. Delphinium in the borders Magnolia and roses too Chrysanthemum and dahlia Arriving right on queue . Sweet pea near the back wall Climbers of every kind Seeing my cherry tree's in full bloom always blows my mind. I've got red hot pokers Buddleia for the butterflies The beauty of my snowball tree's Is like nectar for the eyes. A garden is a living space It should not be neglected or left alone Let it become your magical place An extension of your home.
