During the shelter in place, Sacha and I planted a garden or if truth be told a few vegetable plants. Zucchini, cucumber, tomato, green onion, green beans, and crooked neck squash. Nothing beats homegrown. I wish I could say we have an overabundance of vegetables but that is not the case with one plant each of the above vegetables. So far there have been seven green beans or as my mother said when I added them to a salad, "If you say so, but I did not see them nor taste them." I have planted a garden before but this time without the right tools or soil or fertilizer it was more like throwing seeds to the wind. A dare you to grow attitude. Hence a few vegetables.
There are sheep in the field behind my mother’s house. A friend needed some pasture land so my mom lent him ours for the pleasure of seeing sheep in the field. In the not so distant background behind the sheep the chartreuse green rice fields.

Foraged along the creek black walnuts for their perfumed skins, the first buds of grapes and fig leaves.
My mother and I have been gathering wild blackberries in the morning four cups make a pie.
Then there is the pomegranate tree (my mom has several but this one is the best) won't be ready until October.
Seeds planted some give a harvest within a month or two, and others most others take several months. Time and patience.
What seeds am I planting now? What harvest do I expect?
