Give me the splendid silent sun, with all its beams full-dazzling; give me the juicy fruit, ripe from the orchard…
-Walt Whitman
Our garden is going full steam and bringing us much delight. For the kids it’s a continual study of nature. From feeding striped grasshoppers to brightly colored spiders to catching a handful of frogs to simply watching the garden in it’s various stages we have all found felicity in it’s green depths. Other creatures enjoy it also; sweet tiny hummingbirds and scandalous little gophers who devour entire garlic heads. Our tomato plants are as tall or taller than I am and laden with plump green tomatoes. Our three varieties of basil are bursting, waiting on said tomatoes to ripen. Our corn has formed silken tassels. Yesterday I planted more seeds for a late fall harvest.
