passing time measured in the garden
Jun 4th, 2009
The baby has missed its chance to be here before the first lettuce of the year, the first spinach and collard greens, and now, today, the first strawberries, which appeared and have been eaten (well, the first was technically claimed by an early bird of perhaps chipmunk). That's not to mention the chives and oregano and things, or, if you want to stretch the definition of harvest, the spring flowers that don't come inside: daffodils, irises, and all those things on bushes. Hurry up baby, or even daylilies and peas will pass you by!
