weeds.

there are just so many of them. it´s amazing. they are truly a wonder. ask my nose. my nose can´t stop talking about it. all plant life really. my nose is one chatty kathy.

while the north garden is entirely planted, the south garden is undergoing a makeover. it has many, many layers exposing themselves more and more as the days pass. some days the makeover is more of a war (but what makeover isn´t?), and somedays i foolishly think that i might be winning. i know better. i know i will never win. but if i could come in first for the coming months, it would be quite the joy.

the air today was full of travelling seeds. so many, apparently from cottonwoods, that it could appear to be snowing. white puffs drifting so slowly in the air, settling wherever they can. your hair, the kitchen, the garden. the arise in me a combination of wonder and terror.

in the news of the want-to-be tamed land, we have radishes! first thing to harvest, and fortunately i love to eat them. everything else seems to be growing steadily- mustard, brocolli raab, more radishes, carrots, spinach, lettuce, raddichio, beans, peas, marigolds, mesculin mix, beets, kohlrabi. so great! i hope my plants hear all of my sweet words for them.
