I recently came across this and found it to be a wonderful description of this time of year. Enjoy.
How to
Never Feel Poor
By Jenna
Woginrich
From the
book One Woman Farm
Hundreds of
tiny seeds are outside in the little greenhouse: peas and lettuce, kale and
spinach. I grow heirlooms because I feel
as if I am growing secrets. These plants are only for those willing to seek
them because you can’t find them in stores.
My Amish snaps, my Rocky Top lettuce, my Russian kales as purple as Puff
the magic dragon. They are sleeping
babes now, under warn comforters of soil and sunlight. But in a few days there will be a sea of
green life.
It never
gets old. You never feel poor.
