The 12 Days of (Gardening) Christmas

By Deb Zynomirski, Dunnville Horticultural Society President

On the twelfth day of Christmas, my garden gave to me:

Twelve seeds a sprouting,

Eleven buds a bursting,

Ten dirty fingernails,

Nine days of rain,

Eight weeks of joy,

Seven plants for sharing,

Six weeds a spreading,

Five garden slugs!

Four bird feeders,

Three flowers blooming,

Two bees a buzzing,

And a perfect round tomato!
