Fruits of labor...

Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems. ~Rainer Maria Rilke

Here we are: sunshine and rain, sometimes at the same time; teeny green things poking through the wet soil; daylight until past the kids' bedtimes. Spring brings lovely things to the Parker Road Garden Co-op--pea shoots, French breakfast radishes, and greens and greens and greens. And underneath the dirt? Cabbages! Tomatillos! Scallions! Arugula! Lettuce! Potatoes!

The French breakfast radishes (see photo, right) are beautiful and delicious. (To those volunteers who have not yet picked some: Please come help yourselves!)
