Rain. We finally got some today. I think we've only really had about 6/10ths of an inch over the past month and a bit. Today we had 7/10ths in two bursts. It's a beautiful thing to be standing in a field while the rain pours down in a steady spatter. It's cool and smells clear and really... present. I mean, you can't help but feel entirely situated in the world when you're standing in the rain, you know?
Anyhow, the harvest routine is still driving the days forward. We harvested the last of the broccoli today, kohlrabi, turnips, and cabbage finished up last week or the week before that. Just today we started harvesting fennel, and earlier this week we started on the zucchini. There's talk of harvesting the first of the green beans tomorrow, and possibly carrots and new potatoes next week. Holy.
