In My Garden

For, What's In Your Garden contest


So, What is, in my garden?
Why'd you have to ask?
It's all hard work, just wasted
'Cause nothings made to last
I'm always fighting insects
Like Beetles by the score
Moths, flies and cutworms
I tell you, this is war
Caterpillar larvae 
Crawling over all my fruit 
And hidden in the soil
Ragweed’s taken root
Half my plants are dying
Soon the other half will go
Some say I should,  grow grass instead
But I really hate to mow
