FB's word list in the garden

At the Imaginary Garden with Real Toads, my friend Fireblossom has given us a word list challenge. One of the words on the list is "garden" and I have been thinking about that very subject today.
All the words in boldface are from Fireblossom's list, but not all the words from her list are in my poem.

a kitchen garden—

salad from a package

of seeds,

but the riddle

for succeeding

drove me crazy.

of my favourite things

Thanks to gardenweb.com for the photo and the idea. I have a vegetable-loving dog who can sniff out free veggies from two blocks away, and I have a bad back, so I have a hard time bending down to tend a garden. This solution seems to address both problems. My old patio table is probably still sturdy enough to hold a couple of bags of potting soil, but I don't think I'll be growing any squashes any time soon. Baby carrots, however...yum!
