Plant a Garden

Jenn Cleary

plant a garden, watch it grow
from seeds that you sow
give it water and lots of sun
pick those weeds out one by one
you can grow your own food
wouldn’t that be fun

you can grow beets, how sweet
or string beans as a treat
cucumbers on a vine
strawberries for snack time
you can grow your own food
with the sunshine

you can grow sprouts, no doubt
they’re good for you, try them out
watermelon that’s the best
try pumpkins, as a test
you can grow your own food
then earn your rest

you don’t need to go to the grocery store
every time you need something more
grab a shovel and some seeds
grow your own for a big old feed
you can even share with those in need

you can grow snap peas, with ease
pollinated by the bees
how about corn to toss on your grill
smothered with butter, have your fill
you can grow your own food
what a thrill

Chorus (x2)
you can grow your own food, it’s so much fun
