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.
