This year I neglected the garden caring for my mother in her last illness.
Red mustard and arugula self-sowed and gave spring crops as they always do. Red-eyed Fall Beans took on all attackers as they always do, and I saved seeds.
Here’s to the tough land races. My mother was a tough one too, God rest her. It’s an under-rated virtue but it’s bedrock.
God Bless You for taking care of your Mom. I did the same for my Dad for the past 12 years. Though I was burning out as a caregiver, I sure do miss that cranky old Kraut most days! :)
