And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

First harvest
The wife just now came in from the backyard, and showed me these carrots and radishes, which are the first harvest for this year. The carrots actually overwintered from last year, and taste surprisingly good in spite of their rather craggy appearance. Hopefully this is a harbinger of good stuff to follow. I especially want the tomatoes to do well, but we will see.

Good news! I like stuff like this.
ReplyDeleteI have similar results with my carrots. Left over from a fall plot, they are gnarly, pale, but taste great! Built a raised bed garden and filled it with top soil/mushroom compost mix.
ReplyDeleteGrate those little cuties up and use as a garnish on top of a salad! Mmmm!
ReplyDeleteDad can't garden any more but I planted some half barrels with a few things, that he can just go out on the patio and water and gather. I hope he has some nice looking tidings as you did.
