Tear in my eye proud -

So, remember a few posts back about my "attempts" at growing cauliflower this summer and how disappointed I was over my lack of gardening skills? Remember? Here's a picture of my gigantic plants -

Well, when I went to pull up my garden to prepare for winter, low and behold, nestled and well hidden, guess what I found

Yes, CAULIFLOWER! Three of them to be exact -

There they were! I was so excited I'll bet the whole neighborhood could hear my shouts of joy! Yes, they were small (one was very, very small), but none the less - SUCCESS!

Oh, just LOOK at them! I'm still amazed!
It's like they just popped up overnight! Anyway, I was very thrilled - they tasted SO good.

While glancing over my pictures, I also found these pictures I had taken this summer of my brothers garden. I think he has a "garden whisperer"

Don't you agree?

Maybe if I "talked" to my garden in the same manner, it would be more productive, like his -

Maybe I'll try a "garden whisperer" next year to see how much more productive my garden can be (how about it Michelle?)
