A labour of love
Bringing forth exquisite tastes and smells
Tomatoes plump and red, the table to grace
As purple lavender perfume the heart does swell
Bees intent of their daily chores
As butterflies flit among the blossoms as well
And I sit upon the bench, and take in my accomplishments sweet
And ignore the few incroaching weeds, and that annoying passing snail
Padre
A labor of love indeed. Love the blossoms and tomatoes,but not so much the weeds.

there comes a time you just have to sit and appreciate the work of your hands…even though it is not finished…it never will be…there will always be more, but you will wear yourself out…and forget why if you dont take time to appreciate…

Time well spent in your garden. The lavender and the tomatoes are most appealing to me.

So lovely to sit and contemplate what one has created………whether garden or poem.

Look up your weeds, they may be a blessing in disguise (or at least free food as you rip them up if they’re edible [there’s potential for the snail here too]). Beautiful imagery, and a wonderful capturing of the joys (and frustrations) of a garden.

Really nice, charming description. I smiled at the last three words. I really never see snails where I live.
