Arjun's garden

Arjun is a MUCH better gardener than I am.  He actually enjoys digging - ALL kinds of digging.....

and working and planting and watering.  In fact, I would say that he enjoys the work more than the end results.  I am the opposite.  I like the part when you relax and gaze upon the work already finished. .. The flowers blooming in the weeded and well watered garden....the brilliant red sliced tomato resting on a toasted bagel with cream cheese...the smell that the enormous tomato plant gives off when it is so large that you can't help rustling the leaves when you pass....mint tea...cut flowers.
Arjun and I make an excellent team.  This year he did all of the work.  He grew tomatoes, basil, mint, rosemary, sunflowers, marigolds, zinnias and morning glories.

He chose the seeds and he chose the plants.  He decided which would go where and he did all of the digging and planting and most of the watering.  I did the sniffing and smelling and gave them a drink when they looked thirsty and their caretaker was not around.

He's the coolest.
