Cityscape? Is that even a word? Don't make me look it up.
I know scapes. Those are the flower stems of garlic that come shooting up eventually, no? I should have some of my own here one of these days. My garlic is up and looks really good, first year I ever grew the stuff. I don't know why I never grew it before. It's incredibly easy to grow, it stores well, and who cooks without garlic? If you plant nothing because you think you can't grow things, stick some garlic cloves in the ground late next fall, and watch them thrive the following spring.
Ramps though. Ramps around these parts are a very big thing.
I had moved here just a couple months prior, when I noticed everyone talking about leeks. Leeks this and leeks that, in the stores, on the front porches, in the newspaper. Leek festivals, leek dip contests, leek soups, leeks literally everywhere. I thought "what is it about leeks with these hillbillies I now call neighbor and friend?"
Ramps! They are nearly everywhere in the deep woods around here! Some patches are dense and larger than house footprints, in moist, spongy, fragrant earth, very easy to dig up by the shovelsful.
I got mine.
This is my entry to @mariannewest's daily freewrite challenge. Today's prompt is cityscape.
