Spring Garden

Every Spring I daydream about planting a vegetable garden. I think about all of the things that could go wrong. The hungry squirrels, rabbits, and birds in my yard might eat the plants and produce. I may be too busy-with work and household chores-to tend to the garden. I decided that this year, I would start a miniature garden on my deck.
I purchased a cherry tomato plant, two pepper plants, and a bag of potting soil. My deck gets an equal amount of sun and shade throughout the day; so I placed the potted plants where they would benefit from this. On the days that it didn't rain, I watered the plants.
The pepper plants died, but the tomato plant is thriving. Everyday it seems to have grown an inch or two. This could be due to the recent week of rain.
Yesterday I noticed that the tomato plant was covered in yellow blossoms. Hopefully, nothing will go wrong, and I will have plenty of cherry tomatoes to eat and share with my family.
I have decided to plant a miniature garden on my deck every spring. There is less work and worry involved this way.
