Planting The Leftovers










The broccoli, leeks, and parsley
 Popped out of the box pretty easily 
And into the ground they went
And a new fabric tent was built
Because the wind was blowing
And the worms were present
On a neighbor's overwintered cabbages.
The broccoli planted three weeks ago
Hasn't grown an inch, nor the leeks or chard.
The soil is dry, despite the day's rain
And the Fed hasn't turned the water on.

  4. Hi,

    I wanted to email you in regards in any possible advertising opportunities you may have with your website. I'm looking to earn support for a national cause and get visibility for the "plant 1 billion trees" project. Let me know if you would be interested at all in supporting this cause or if you want more information on it.I look forward to talking to you soon!

If I do not respond to your comment right away, it is only because I am busy pulling out buckthorn, creeping charlie, and garlic mustard...
