It continues to blow my mind that out of nothing comes something so amazing. I planted hundreds of these miniscule and sometimes not so miniscule orbs and after coddling them with warmth, encouraging them with light and nourishing them with black earth and water….Voila, I am rewarded with the giving forth of life! It begins with a peek out of the black earth and then the urge to grow upward takes over and the green stem and leaves push upward and before I know it I have a jungle growing in every nook and cranny of my house. My home now is permeated with the sweet smell of the earth. In another week I will be sending these babies out into the world to fend for themselves in the big garden. At that point Mama Irene will give up most of her control of their growth to Mother Nature. Hopefully she will be kind to them and will nurture them as tenderly as I so they will produce fruit and veggies that will sustain us as I have sustained them.
I dream of wonderfully sweet red tomatoes, crisp cukes for salads as well as pickling, green peppers for garlic peppers and red peppers for salads and cooking, red and green cabbages, eggplant, squash and the list goes on.
So now my dreams have visions of veggies..and I wonder why I feel hungry when I awake….
