You might remember last year’s big announcement of a new category of posts: how-it-started, how-it’s-going. I had planned to follow up the inaugural post, which showed a bare garden in spring, with a harvest-abundance photo. It was not to be.
This year, I travelled at a different season and got the harvest shot all right, but minus the abundance. Edmonton had a hot, dry summer so the garden’s output was, well, subdued. Even so, I could still smell the dill.
How it started . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . How it kinda went.
The same garden also produced some morning glories along the garage wall. The missing “how it started” photo for these would have been a patch of wet dirt with the seeds hidden from view. Sometimes we just have to imagine that how-it-started state, taking it on faith that what might seem like a meagre harvest is, in fact, a pretty big deal under the circumstances.
