2. Peace of heart
3. Peace of soul

Plant four rows of squash:
1. Sauash gossip
2. Squash indifference
3. Squash grumbling
4. Squash selfishness

Plant four rows of lettuce:
1. Lettuce be faithful
2. Lettuce be kind
3. Lettuce be patient
4. Lettuce really love one another

No garden is without turnips:
1. Turnip for meetings
2. Turnip for service
3. Turnip to help one another

To conclude our garden we must have thyme:

(I really like this rhyme so thought I'd share, especially in the gardening theme)

And...last but not least, a photo of the fruit on our Loquat tree, that provides us with lots of shade, but not much else. The fruit, is not really that edible - it tastes very acidic, and sharp, akin to a gooseberry! An aquired taste?

Just so you know, I grew up loving when the loquats got ripe enough to eat right off the tree, and my Mom even made a jam out of them a couple of times. It was a long process, obviously, and the jam wasn't the world's best, but it was unique and not entirely bad. I kind of miss the big old tree since my parents have moved after we all grew up and moved out. Thanks for posting the photo. :o)

Hi Michelle
I 've never even considered making loquat jam. I didnt think you could!! oh damm! Dh pruned the hell out of the tree today, and most of the fruit bearing branches are gone! Oh well....next year!!!
I'll keep that in mind though, thanks for the idea.
