THE GARDEN OF MY HEART
BY
Joan Schertz
Despite the inevitable weeds, tracking the garden’s progress from planting to harvest was exciting! There were always big grins when one of us announced the discovery of the first seedlings pushing through the soil. We tracked all the milestones – the first blossoms, the first beans, the first squash. As the season progressed, we fertilized and cultivated, then eagerly harvested with each wave of maturation. And although we were never entirely successful in winning the annual weed war, the vegetables thrived, and we always had an abundant harvest.
