My Sweet Garden Valentine

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
I grow them both in my garden.
Just for you.
I grow herbs and perennials,
Vegetables too.
I love the flowers,
In every hue.
I love to garden,
Everything green,
I’ve had enough of winter.
I’m ready for spring!
Hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
