Space Overtaken To many tomatoes fill up my fridge Grown from the garden, a tasty delish When seeds were first sown, did a no show Planted some more, twice many did grow Offered some out to family and friends But they had themselves twenty times ten With seedlings now to many to count Not one to be wasted began to place out Seedlings aligned...
