Such a beautiful garden.  Oh how I wish I had one of my own to tend but I will soon.  Lovely!

How pretty! We love to garden, can and freeze. It is so satisfying to see all the jars lined up on the pantry shelf and know that the freezer is bursting with the results of your hard work. I love the idea of the table. How special! Our garden this year produced more than ever.   We also have deer who have gobbled up my 36 roses and I had to cut them down to the ground this year. My Japanese maple has  been chewed on and will never grow taller than the 5 feet it is now because they won't leave it alone. Who wants chicken wire around everything? But, they have left my vegetable garden alone for some reason, but they have been in my neighbors' eating the okra and corn. They also love tulips.

 I love my garden of 11 raised beds. We can sit on the edge and plant, weed, pick and entertain. If you put a Costo folding table in between two raised beds the raise bed edges become a bench for the folding table. This morning I had two children 3 and 5 years of age eating their way threw the garden. Gardens are the best source for good eating.
