Six Days Away from the Garden
One almost broccoli
Two fat slugs
Three tomatoes – eaten*
Four stalks of rhubarb
A fistful of chard
Six orange beets
A passel of peas
Eight yellow squash blossoms
Scads of purple flowers
A bushel of bean blooms
Eleven juicy strawberries
Twelve little basil leaves…
And fifteen enormous mole hills.
*by me

I am a Pacific Northwest native transplanted to the southeast for 36 years. In 2012, I returned to my childhood home and fell in love with this corner of the country again. I am a grandmother, a storyteller, a teacher, an attention payer, a hiker, and a back roads wanderer.

Yes, the bounty is just beginning. And it should be amazing this year with all this sunshine! I love hearing about your garden – you are an inspiration.

I can’t quite if this is good news, bad news, or neutral news 🙂

Good! Except for the slug and moles. So I suppose it is mixed news.

As is usual, good news and bad news from the garden–but on the whole, it sounds like a bountiful harvest.
