“You ought to have seen what I saw on my way 
To the village, through Mortenson’s pasture to-day: 
Blueberries as big as the end of your thumb, 
Real sky-blue, and heavy, and ready to drum
In the cavernous pail of the first one to come!
And all ripe together, not some of them green
And some of them ripe! You ought to have seen!” 
“I don’t know what part of the pasture you mean.” 
“You know where they cut off the woods—let me see—

^THAT broccoli is off not the first but the second cutting in the field. Normally for the second cutting you just get smaller florets. But hey. now.

Felicidades!!!! Happy Mexican Mothers Day! I came to work to find flowers for me on the chalkboard (I need to teach Carmen how to spell my name) and hugs from the crew members at the farm. Total mujeres! They said. Today is to celebrate all women, mothers and not yet mothers… unless that’s just Elicio’s excuse to hug me all day

Dear teeny tiniest little baby heirloom tomato I’ve ever known in my life, 
Take your sweet time. 
Just kidding. 
Love, 
Cait

It’s 10:30, I got off at 8 and I have to be back at the farm at 4 a.m. … but I spent my morning picking strawberry blossoms, the sun not high enough yet to lift the morning dew from their soft white petals and who can argue with the loveliness of that.

Got the day off work and where do I go? The Sea Island Savory herb farm of course! I love succulents, they are just so strange and beautiful. And I learned so much already in only ten minutes of being here thanks to the lovely Ella who sells next to me at Tuesday Farmers Market in Mt Pleasant. Did you know shower loofahs are a type of squash?! Me. neither.
