What you got growing?

[tectak]

It's summer on this side of the earth and I'm buying from farm stands instead of growing my own.

Who's got a garden and what are you eating? What are you loaded with and what are you nursing along?

You guys in winter, did you grow last summer? How did it go?

I want to garden vicariously through you without the physical labor.

So, what you got?

Tomatoes and turnips and parsnips look fine;
and tomatoes, potatoes and beans.
Tomatoes and courgettes, not quite ready yet,
but tomatoes and beetroot, ahead of their time,
are ready for picking, the best I have seen,
but tomatoes, notoriously, stoically green.

I ate all the radish, boy were they hot.
Did I mention tomatoes? I have quite a lot.
Oh, yes, and I've salad, rocket and dill
with wild coriander, from last year, but still
I am waiting for garlic to wilt and to yellow;
pick it to soon and it tends to be mellow.
Not to worry, there's last years, preserved in a pot.
Did I mention tomatoes? Oh, God, let them rot.

So there.

There's always too much of something. I like how you used beetroot instead of beets. In my mind I'll be at your table tonight, I'll be quiet, you won't even notice. mmmmm

Hi ella,
I said beetroot 'cause I grow beetroot. Beets are quite different...usually refers to Sugarbeet. I ain't got beets.
Brest...er...beast,
