Rejuvenation is always an issue.
Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?
With silver bells, and cockle shells,
And pretty maids all in a row.**
This rhyme is a playful exploration of a garden, using figurative language like "silver bells" and "cockle shells" to describe the flowers and plants. It's a simple, yet charming example of how the phrase "How does your garden grow?" can be used in a poetic context.
Growth is always a surprise.
What will the vines produce?
Now dormant. Pruning is over. What to expect!
Hoping for an excellent Sauvignon Blanc harvest at Fortes Family Wines
