Do you know the trope? I am going to talk about my vegetables, as I promptly stated in a comment elsewhere. Because the world, well, it should know. It yearns to learn about my veggies, no?
But the trope of My Cabbages! was one from the Avatar animated series where the cabbage guy was the bystander who got wrecked during some of the action. Wherever he went.
In this case, my "cabbage"s consist of peas, cherries, carrots, potatoes, beet, etc. No cabbage intertwined within any links to those. No, I should think of cabbage next year, really. Anyway...
I was picking up some early peas and cherries, and my brother foraged some early potatoes. Carrots - just a sample of their state at the moment of picking which was about ten days ago. Or a dozen...
Here be some untidy pictures...
We were waiting for a few more days before we got to seriously harvest some of the experimental crops. Experimental to us, not to the place. It is us who are the new guys on the block.
Anyway, again.
We were waiting for a couple of days of additional rain and sunshine.
But it started raining the next day and it hasn't quit yet. It rains all the time...meaning more than ten days in a row...during a period considered late around here. A couple of weeks after the usual. And in large quantities. Mud and rot to be afraid of.
Not able to go to the garden and finish some gardening work, alas. Waiting for the weather to get more...favorable.
People who know what they are talking about speak of the danger of crops failing due to...floods. Not violent floods but consistent rain.
What the land usually provides...might change. We know about this thing called climate change, right? This is but a sign of what could happen on a large scale. It might be a sign of things already going that way or not. That is hard to tell. What is not hard to tell is...
There be consequences. One change bringing another.
Not bearish on our garden yet. I'm usually the optimist. But I am considering buying a boat and fishing hooks soon. Be prepared for the change!
Be the change! Remember...
The fish doesn't think because the fish knows...everything.
