"spring Garden's Bounty"

My spring garden doth grow
At first a bit contrary
My seeds removed by the crow
And moles I scold, in no hurry 

Many weeds grow, I need to hoe
To till I need, a very strong will
You see my mind’s a bit slow
Garden I till, on a hill

But it is all worth while
Luscious ripe tomatoes
My peppers I want mild
I love my new potatoes

One regarding the weather
`Tis one that will never sow
So I’ll get it all together
Though many strong storms may blow

Many ground hogs in delight
My broccoli  green, I mean
The deer come out in the night
Grazing my beans very clean

I am a Mr. Green Jean
I dream of red strawberry
`Tis very beautiful scene
In midst of a bird’s flurry

My garden I hoe, in spring
Every spring season's repeat
The spring brings life's rain
And tasty veggies such a treat

When your crops are ready, can I come over to share the broccoli and strawberries, Mr. Green Jean? This is a delight and I know Dane Ann will love it. Heard from her again and she has made it safely to San Antonio in her old truck for her son's graduation. Hallelujah! Prayers answered. Good luck in the contest, dear friend. Love, Carolyn
