Good morning, fedi friends.
I picked some pretty big #strawberries from our #FoodGarden ππππ

A poem for those of us who are deep into garden harvest and food preservation season: "On the Cusp of Equinox" by Joan Mazza https://oneartpoetry.com/2024/08/31/on-the-cusp-of-equinox-by-joan-mazza/. Excerpt:
"Summer ends with a chill over the garden,
breath of coolness to make the spinach
and lettuce happy. I pick another bucket
of tomatoes, more chewed each harvest,
and welcome the wildlife to this messy table"

Mini harvest today.
I just spent a half hour (lunch break) in the back yard picking stuff and now I am exhausted. Like, just-finished-an-intense-workout-exhausted. My heart rate is nuts. #LongCovid blows but hey I have vegetables.
I made a new gardening friend in NE Mpls and now we are exchanging a ton of plants LOL
Already got some alpine strawberries. Next year I'll have lovage. Giving her some sunchokes and maybe some tomato babies and we will see what else comes of this!
