Almost
The garden is full of
almosts this week....
Almost sweet corn.
Almost onions.
Almost crowing.
(Almost dinner.)
Almost tomatoes.
Almost okra.
Almost mountains.
Almost too many.
Almost impossible to
spend a day in the garden without realizing how lucky we are.
Our chicken waterer never spills
on uneven ground.

About us: Anna Hess and Mark Hamilton spent over a decade living self-sufficiently in the mountains of Virginia before moving north to start over from scratch in the foothills of Ohio. They've experimented with permaculture, no-till gardening, trailersteading, home-based microbusinesses and much more, writing about their adventures in both blogs and books.

Jackie --- You must be way up north. Alaska?
Daddy --- I don't think radioactivity is the answer. Wikipedia notes that there's a four-leaf clover for every 10,000 three-leaf clovers, and that some varieties are more likely to have four leaflets than others. We have a lot more than 10,000 clover leaves in my regular stomping grounds, so it's not surprising that there are a lot of four-leaf clovers. I think I just keep my eye out for them more than other people do.
Anna has been finding 4 leaf clovers years before the recent Japanese nuclear melt down tragedy.
I've considered buying a Gieger counter to monitor any changes in the background radiation levels, but never got around to it.
