Garden update

In 1978, David Mallet, wrote The Garden Song. Every year, around this time, as I get the gardening bug, I think about that song. Arlo Guthrie recorded it at one time, and a more popular version was sung on the Muppet Show, by John Denver.

But I like the original, by Dave Mallet, and I find myself humming it to myself, as I play in the garden.

Here is Dave Mallet himself, singing his song:



The song went through my head as I lifted the lid on my "greenhouse"
and saw all the baby plants starting to grow.

This is my favorite part of gardening, I feel like a little kid, and I want to run in every morning and check them, as soon as I get up. There aren't any real leaves yet, but they are a whole lot of little seedlings.













Of course, there are a lot more than I will need, and eventually they will have to be thinned out, but I'm hoping to have some strong healthy plants to choose from.


It kind of makes me feel like a farmer. Maybe I'll go put my overalls on and chew on a long piece of grass, and scratch my head and talk about the weather.

Reckon it'll rain?
