today I just want to have garden show and tell.
Also in the top photo are the toes of my new cowboy boots which i love, so I thought I would point them out. might as well.
the backyard greenhouse
meet our tomatoes, basil, lettuce, spinach, and cucumbers!
out front, our snow peas are growing happily in the cold rain, and I hope the slugs leave them alone. i haven't seen any signs of the chard coming up, but i am not worried.
April
under damp dark earth
a small life inhales and dreams
of deep roots and light.

You did it! Wow, that case is AMAZING! I'm so impressed. I bet the growing conditions are great up there. And cute boot toes.
I love the imagery of that haiku. It's weird...I wrote last night...
water me like a flower bed
that i can reach to you
flowers can never reach the sky,
but where exactly is the sky?
Thanks Kate! you inspired me to show some garden photos :)
I think that gardening of any kind speaks very silently but very strongly to who we are and what we are doing, even if it is a quite mysterious process. And I think it begs us to write about it if we can, or at least to think on these things. (consider the lilies of the field...)
