I have a completely different take on this poem. The poem is more about
how the girl doesn't take the father's advice on how to plant and maintain
a garden.
For example, "Her Father said, to plow;....
She wheeled the dung in the wheelbarrow along a stretch of road;
But she always ran away and left
Her not-nice load,"
The poem goes on to say that she begged the seed, and how her crops were a
miscellany. It has fruits, potatoes, tomatoes, etc. In other words, it
doesn't have a structure to it. It's just thrown together.
Later the poems says that when she sees how village things go, she says I
know, its has when I was a farmer. Never by advice, meaning she doesn't
take advice on how to do things just like how she didn't take her father's
advice on how to plant a garden. And I believe the last line is where you
learn what this poem is all about. It says she never shares the story.
Doesn't tell the same person twice because then she would be giving advice
to another person just like how her father gave her advice. Despite his
advice, she had a plentiful garden. Tell me what you think of my take on
this poem!

I absolutely love this poem. The first time I was introduced to it and
Robert Frost was in my choir class in college. We performed this poem
which had been set to music. It opened a whole new world of poetry to me.

i thought this poem was very relaxing and heartwarming Because of its very
well ideals it made me pictures a little girl really planting her own
garden in my head while reading the peom and i thought it means if you try
you can do anything if you keep trying.
