t seems one day the garden’s fresh
The next day leaves begin to turn
Pick veggies quick before it’s too late
It’s something I have learned
Canned tomatoes sweet bright red
Look so good in the jar
Crispy pickles I made myself
Are fresher too by far
Squash has ripened on the vine
Zucchini cooked every which way
Popped into bread and casseroles
Or in the freezer to eat another day
Fall keeps us so busy, doesn’t it?
As the end of the summer nears
But I’m planning next year’s garden
While wrapping up things for this year!
