straw
finally covers part of my gardening adventure,
finally a farmer delivered a dozen bales
it's probably year round winter-gardening
what I got myself into
night temperatures above freezing,
days into the twenties of Celsiuses
clover still tiny leaves,
peas growing taller
broad beans aiming higher
potatoes coming up
green leaves slowly emerging
Now I too can build a wall against the cold-fronts
the winds blowing from the east then from the west then from the east...
micro-climate adventure
to get my seeds growing, to keep the plants warm,
to get salad leaves and greens into my system
