Fruits of the Earth, May Edition

Ramps and Morels.  Need I say more?  I haven't found morels this year, but my good (exceptionally good) friends have.  Thank you, good friends.

Mmmmm.  A world of potential here.  Spring is such a time of abundance.

We have ramps and watercress...

...combined with peas for a PERFECT soup. 

...added to the morels, which glazed my prawns; fresh watercress salad, homegrown new purple potatoes; could anything be better?  Summer will come, and with her, cultivated vegetables.

I'm not sure they're better, but they ARE wonderful.  So I set them in the soil, and pray.  When you pray, how do you visualize your higher power?  Can you?  But I digress...

My peas and beans have bed springs to climb.  They'll shade my lettuce.  Mmmmmm.  South is at the top of the picture, here.  If you're a gardener, you need to know where SOUTH is.

These hooligans will make good soup for The Caring Place; cabbage is always a plus.  PLUS...I just bought a BIG crock to make sauerkraut.  Wish me luck!

Today, between teaching, goat-wrangling and trimming the hedge, I read about manifesting your own destiny.  Interesting quantum physics stuff.  I fell in love with the idea of quantum physics in the late 70's, when I worked at Rockwell International, growing silicon crystals.  There was a book published at the time entitled "The Dancing Wu Li Masters".  How intriguing it sounded!  Though I only understood a fraction of it (I'm an artist, not a physicist), I was intrigued by the ideas.  I still am.  More to follow, as it unfolds.
