Sounds of a Garden

Although the Santa Rosa plum tree took a beating by the bugs this Spring, she's bouncing back in June but won't bear near as many plums as last year. I find her to be so unselfish as I noticed her looking over her shoulder at the lemon tree to wish her well. Over her other shoulder is another plum tree of a smaller variety, and it looks to do well this summer. The cactuses seem to know neither limits nor enemy as they border the tomatoes as well as the nectarine and peach trees. The squash appears to be sluggish from the struggle, but the tomatoes are vibrant, and I can hear them whispering to the squash as if to say, "Come on guys, you can do it". 060920PSCtest, The Garden, Dear Heart. 5P
