You can grow a garden in the desert...
I thank God for the abundance He has provided,
my husband and son for building my little garden beds,
and Susan Branch and her book called "The Summer Book" for inspiring me to start it.
You don't need a large plot of land to have a garden, just a small one will do, and you can reap the harvest in a month or two :-)
I'm linking with Joyce at I Love Pretty Little Things and her Friday Pretties party.
Stop by and tell her "hi" if you get a chance.
You still have time to enter my giveaway here too.
Have a wonderful, smiley, bountiful weekend my friends!

Look at your wonderful bounty! My yard is too shady for a garden, so I did some containers this year and had fun with it! The book looks great, too! Thanks for stopping by my blog and for your nice comments~ I am a new follower!
ReplyDeleteHi Marcia,
ReplyDeleteYour garden is beautiful! My husband takes care of our small garden. (I'm not very good with plants of any kind!) We sure appreciate what we get from it. Thank you for sharing your photos.
Have a lovely weekend! :)
Marcia...this is such a sweet post.
ReplyDeleteI loved it. Next year...next year I will have a little garden..
Your gratefulness for having your little garden came across so sweetly.
Blessing to you too, Marcia..

Your garden looks great! Desert is right...although nothing grows in my desert LOL.

ReplyDeleteHi Marcia,
ReplyDeleteYour tomatoes look so good. We had a lot of them but suddenly some of them became brown and I had to throw them away. I'm really sad.

Wow and yum! That's summer at its best. How do you have strawberries in August in the desert??!!
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks great. Isn't it fun to watch things grow.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is looking beautiful. Great job on it.
I love Susan Branch and the quote "Everyone smiles in the same language."
I love that sweet little smiling face in the green green grass!
ReplyDeleteHAve a smiley weekend, Marcia xx
Those beds are awesome! I'd love to have some in my backyard. You have lots of great space and sun - perfect for growing veggies.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely brought a smile to my face. It all looks so good.

Marcia-It is funny but I never think of people in the desert having a garden-lol I think of them as growing a cactus or scrub tree!
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful little plot there and I love the lushness of it! Diana
Your garden is great!! Mine looked good but didn't produce!! I got a few cucumbers and one tomato. I will try again next year!
ReplyDeleteLove the Smile...everyone looks better with a smile.
Have a great weekend
Just a lovely garden and I love all of the vegatable that you picked from it. It really is pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove your garden! :) The deer ravaged our tomatoes this year and we didn't get even one, but our sweet neighbors had an abundance so they've shared. :) LOVE having good neighbors!
ReplyDeleteLove the "words of wisdom"! Your vegetable garden looks wonderful! I've been wanting to start one, but keep putting it off just because we have so much of the ornamental garden left to do... one of these days. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your lovely garden with us!
Happy weekend!
~ Jo :)
Oh, I will have a vegi bed in the future..., but my home is up for sale, so no motivation here.
ReplyDeleteHappy Weekend!
Your garden looks great! I think you got more tomatoes than I did!

I've enjoyed my first visit to your lovely blog today. I'm thinking about using raised beds for my vegetable garden next year. Do you have any suggestions on getting started?
ReplyDeleteSherry @ A Happy Valentine
Thanks for making us smile *-)!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to grow great food in the desert!
Have a lovely weekend,

Don planted a little tomato plant at the beginning of summer. It was about 6 inches high, from Rite Aid $1.49.
ReplyDeleteWe have had fresh tomatoes all summer. That plant became Jack in the Bean Stalk, and reached higher than the back fence.
Love the way you have displayed the fresh goodies.
I'm very impressed, Marcia! You have quite a bounty! Your strawberries made my mouth water! Good for you! You should pat yourself on the back for a job well done!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Tammy

I've been wanting to start a garden for a couple of years. Thank goodness I didn't this year, it's been so hot, I don't think anything would have survived!
ReplyDeleteYour little garden looks wonderful! All those yummy tomatoes.
ReplyDeleteWe are finally getting tomatoes, but have lots more that are very green. It was a slow summer for our garden. I guess it just did not get hot enough soon enough. But it is worth it anyway. There is nothing in the world as wonderful as a garden fresh tomato!
Gardens do have their own special beauty! Looks like you have a great harvest! Hope you are enjoying the end of summer.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful garden! We never had a chance to plant one this summer, so next year I hope we have at least as much bounty as you! ::Jill
ReplyDeleteWow your garden was very bountiful...as in wow look at those fruits and vegetable...thanks for visiting my blog and for inspiring me as well you have a very wonderful family and children. I do hope mine will grow the way God wants them to be...following you with so much blessing follow back if you can...

Your tomatoes look scrumptious! I think the desert was a great place to grow tomatoes this summer, it was too cold and cloudy at the beach. It barely felt like summer here this year and the tomatoes surely felt it.
