I was going to post a photo of our raised bed garden — correction: our attempt at cultivating a raised bed garden — but the photo has a sad “before” look. By which I mean: We have a lot to do to prep it for next year’s crops. And none of that would be particularly nourishing or inspiring for any of you.

Instead, here’s a photo — with accompanying haiku (because of course) — from when we first started the garden. Enjoy!

p.s. I’ll post lots of photos of our garden after I have some “in progress” ones to go with our “before” photo.
