Home Grown Tomatoes

I took Friday off and planted my vegetable and flower garden.

Gardening Joy

There is something very special about taking a handful of seeds and watching them grow to become a robust crop of vegetable goodness that everyone enjoys and remembers. Guy Clark’s song “Homegrown Tomatoes” says it well. There is nothing as good as homegrown tomatoes. “There are only two things that money can’t buy…true love and homegrown tomatoes”. Yes, there is magic in a vegetable and flower garden.

Tradition

I am very grateful that my dad taught me how to grow a garden. I’m carrying on the tradition, but I am also passing it on to my children and grandchildren so that they can enjoy the experience and yummy fresh vegetable harvest. I’m hoping that they will continue the garden tradition with their children and grandchildren.

It's a Process

So, let’s see. You start with seeds, cultivate the ground, plant, fertilize, water, weed and watch the seeds grow into a plentiful harvest. If you do the right things at the right time your garden will be a success.

Just Like Sales

This story could easily be about selling. If you take a step back, you will see a lot of similarities between growing a garden and building a sales pipeline. If you follow a process, work hard and stay focused, you will be rewarded with a harvest of business.
