i love my little garden! (i really *am* turning into a grown-up!!)

i love being able to pick a lettuce leaf or some radishes to put on my sandwich in the mornings. i very seldom *do*, but i love being *able* to. and i love seeing how big the rhubarbs have grown. i hate eating them, but they are beautiful to look at. and no garden is a real garden without rhubarbs. and i love my little rose bush for having survived, and even blossomed. i love it's tiny little leaves and i loved the smell of it's tiny little flowers. and i love the funny flowers that shoot their seeds all over the place. they are now growing everywhere, and i love them for it. they are also much higher than last year, which is another reason for loving them. last summer there were 4 different kinds of flowers in the original "garden" (i.e. the big wooden box tommy's brother gave me), but this year the funny flowers that shoot their seed all over the place have taken over the entire box, and only a small lily has survived). i love the little lily for having survived. and i love the colour of it's flowers. and i love the aloe veras from france and spain for surviving not only the transport all the way to sweden and several years in my care (or rather lack of care), but also the extreme heat and sun and lack of water during the first weeks of this summer and the extremely extrem rainfalls of this spring that have come back again now. and i love the smell of the dill when i touch it. and i love the onions for growing, even though i thought they were dead (and even though i really really hate the taste of onions).and i love the geraniums for surviving, and even flowering, under extreme conditions. and i love the rallar roses, simply for being rallar roses. if i've forgotten to mention anyone: i love them too.  ¶ 10:16 PM
