"Springtime Memories" by Jack Terry
I don't know about you, but I can feel spring coming. It's so close that I can almost taste it! Yeah, I'm one of those people that is very open about their disdain for winter. I hate wearing pants (I prefer dresses and skirts). I hate drying up like a prune. I hate looking like I just got electrocuted because of the static electricity in the dry, winter air.
I hate winter. I'm so thankful that spring, and even summer, are right around the corner! Many people, my mom for example, like to complain about the suffocating heat that arrives in Texas summers. I for one will take that heat over the cold any day! Call me crazy, but that's my preference. Okay, okay, I'm getting to the point of this post. With all this said about the awful winters and hot summers, I think I prefer spring over both of them. My parents feel the same way. Today, we were all obviously relishing the deliciously perfect weather and decided to invest our fortunes (insert laugh here) in some plants. My mother took the flower route, while I opted for two, tiny strawberry plants. Being the little farmer in the family and having recently recovered from the death of my tomato plant, I optimistically took on the task of growing strawberries for my family and I.
Will I succeed? Well, who knows. I had grown one, full tomato on my tomato plant, and then watched it slowly wither away.
Sad story, huh? Anyway, I'm praying this little farming adventure turns out to be worth my while. It's not like I don't have a green thumb because I know I do. It's just this darn Texas weather. For that matter, I'd say that I can justly blame all of my farming woes on it. I had better stop complaining, though. After all, I'm proud to be a Texan and wouldn't want to live anywhere else!
Thats funny cuz Im the opposite. I don't like summer because its to hot. The Spring I don't mind at all though because thats when the weather seems to be well perfect! Also I've got a few tips on your planting. Try putting banana peels in the plants that you want to grow whatever substance the peels have in them its good for plants. If you don't want to try that, try HAIR! Ik sounds weird but like if you ever get your hair cut, take the hair home with you and put it in your garden, the natural oils in your hair helps the plants in some weird way.
