Garden the 28th of July




A bowl of harvested butter crunch lettuce.

My garden beds to the South, including Swiss Chard, Collard Greens and Green beans, Endive, and my lettuce row and horseshoe bed with mixed lettuce, a couple 

Royal Burgundy Bush Beans

Edamame plants. Maybe this year we'll actually get to harvest something off these! (Last year the stupid pet rabbits got out and pretty much chewed them all to the ground.)

Close-up of the Buttercrunch lettuce that sprang up in my carrot beds.

My two smaller carrot beds.

My big carrot bed.

A close-up of the Edamame plants, they're so tender and green looking, I almost understand why the rabbits love them so much.

My mom pulled up all of the arugula, as it was blossoming and preparing to go to seed. There were some cabbage plants scattered along the rows, and left the odd collard green plant here and there. I later planted green beans in the bare spots.

Garden

All of these were actually from a few weeks ago, unfortunately. 
Peppers and cucumbers.


Burgundy bush beans rows.

Beets

I think this picture is of my Swiss chard, not sure though. 

My lovely little horseshoe lettuce patch.

Close up of my lettuce when it was all cute and not too crowded like it is now.
Why do we look outside for connection?

Something I made


Guess what I made out of this? 


This!



Made for my friend for her fourth birthday on the 4th of July.

1% Milk and Self Loathing

There are dogs pounding circles in my head
Chasing each other's tales
I would do nothing but lie down,
I am too tired

What have I to be tired for?
What do I know of despair?
Nothing, some whisper
while others weakly interject,
Their words like 1% milk dribbling down their chins

Wings bound,
I would sink into the Earth,
Soul-slipped,
I never knew the sky.
