Easter seeds sown?


I was kneeling in the raised bed. Grains of soil and worms in my hand... I took a breath. I heard the neighbors...kids crying, music from cars bumping the bass. I took a breath. This is spring.

Today, I planted lettuce, basil and beans.






I was looking for my seeds before I started. Where else could they be except in the overalls that I never wash. I never wash them, because there might be seeds in the pockets. Seeds, gloves, markers....

I've got scrapes on my arms from tangling with the raspberry canes. This ought to be a good summer for berries.


Maybe I really will have a garden party this year. 

Well, a farm party! A hip urban farm gathering.
It's coming along nicely. And that, folks, is hip!
