You see, I had recently read The Secret Garden, and I was also a huge dork.
My dad patiently planted a little garden with me, and I proceeded to neglect it for most of the summer. Luckily, my dad has the greenest thumb of anyone I know, so my little garden produced veggies and flowers for years to come.
Fast forward, 15 years, and my dad helped me plant another little garden, this time behind my duplex.
I have not neglected it all.
(Unless you count a couple days when I forgot to water it....)
Hahaha, I knew what this was about from the title. I loved that movie as a kid. That's why I tried a garden when I was a kid, but it failed.
ReplyDeleteThe closest to a garden we've come is a Topsy-turvy. Yay for yours!
ReplyDeleteLauren, I love that we were both inspired by "The Secret Garden"!
ReplyDeleteAnd, thanks Abbie! :)
Ok so this has nothing to do with the actual garden but it was my favorite book in 4th grade so I did my book report on it. But then my evil teacher decided we had to give an oral report too and the book has a character named Dickon! Dude, in 4th grade, I did NOT want to say that name in front of my whole class, ya know? So I faked sick and went home to avoid the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteBut yay for your garden!
What cute little tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteand of course I now blame you for the song that is now stuck in my head . . .
"Inch by inch, row by row. Gonna make this garden grow . . ."
Shannon, I pretty much love that story. In fifth grade, we read "Where the Red Fern Grows" out loud, and the word "hell" was on my page. I hesitated and said "heck" instead.
ReplyDeleteMollie, I had never heard that song before! Now, it is stuck in my head.
