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