On redundancy

The peas are coming in, and the mustard greens are flowering and covered with honeybees, and the beans are coming up, and the 100+ tomatoes have been potted up and are just waiting for ground to go into, and yet I haven’t been taking pictures. I took pictures of peas last year! This year’s pictures would be basically identical. Maybe I should take them anyway. I guess if we stopped talking about things that reoccur seasonally, we would run out of things to talk about very quickly. I love the cyclical nature of the farm, but it sure does make me a boring conversation partner.

  • Not boring! I love keeping up with the seasons this way. Since all I’m growing seem to be weeds (okay, and a kid), it’s lovely to have your plants to vicariously enjoy.

    You could always re-post last year’s… I bet most people wouldn’t notice…

  • EJ

    I love the cycle. I take a picture from the same spot every day at the same time. I can compare the snow depth, apple trees blooming, watch the grass turn green and then brown. Now I have almost 4 years of pictures – a growing treasure.

  • I like hearing how things are doing, even if they’re the same things that grew last year.

    More importantly – did the turkeys come?

  • NO! The turkeys did not come :( They come on Thursday. I am pretty sure they told us June 2 at first but it doesn’t matter really, they will be here Thursday. As well as the 25 meat chicks. Busy poultry day!

  • If I did that my blog would be bare! Besides, the peas are in a different place in my garden this year, hehe. Gotta love crop rotation for diversity. However, I do find myself struggling to find new things to say. Speaking of which, better crank out a post.
