Planting and Harvest
After reading email and news, at dawn, I check the new vegetable bed.
The lettuce is arisen!
Five days after planting. The seed packet says 7-10 days to germinate. Perfect late September weather has speeded the process–midday in the nineties and cool nights. I’ve kept the beds damp.
I also greet last year’s food surfacing from the compost in the soil—-peach pits, bits of egg shell.
And the chard thrives–another meal soon.
