Hummingbird buzzed by my window today...I took it as a sign and went out for a walk. I heard a squeaking, twisting noise like a tree was about to fall, and I hoped it would so I could tell people that I saw and heard a tree falling in the forest, but the noise was actually a bird being all metal and headbanging against a hollow tree.
I planted today. Direct sowing a month before the final freeze--oh yeah, just fine. I planted snow peas, snap peas, 2 lechugas, rainbow chard, radishes and cilantro! I admired the bloody dock and parsely from last season, such sweet resilience. I also have a lavender and a sage plant. The rose bushes are surrounded by garlic (I have my own garlic greens, oh yeah). The daffodils have been blessing my space for a month, flanked by little purple bulb flowers. A week ago, I saw the tulips puckering.--today, one is developing thistle-pink stripes and is getting fat!
