OK now.\u00a0 That’s enough!\u00a0 I woke up, looked out the window on April 26th, just 5 days before Beltane, the beginning of the Celtic summer, and what to my wondering eyes should appear but snow, snow, snow.\u00a0 Oh, dear.<\/p>\n
To season the irony, I leave in a few minutes for the Arboretum and a day devoted to the Natural Rhythms of Time.\u00a0 I guess if it happened, it’s not unnatural, but the snow feels like it has come outside the natural rhythms.\u00a0 I don’t know what to expect from this day, but the notion of natural rhythms and a cyclical view of time are\u00a0important to my own, still evolving sense of the cosmos.<\/p>\n
No wonder the moon of growing has begun to wane.\u00a0 It’s retreating before the Hawthorn giant as he takes a return visit, stomping around and shaking his shaggy head.\u00a0 I can just hear him laugh.<\/p>\n
My hydroponic setup continues to evolve.\u00a0 I’d say I should have edible lettuce by the end of next week.\u00a0The tomato plant I put the under the light first is over 8 inches tall and leafing out more and more every day.\u00a0 The morning glories and cucumbers have begun a stretch toward the light, which means I need to reposition the megafarm under the light and move Emilies over.\u00a0 This is addictive.\u00a0 I can tell because I’m already planning how to\u00a0 make my own setup out of parts I can buy at Interior Gardens.<\/p>\n
The piece that gets me is the growth and maturation of plants from seed.\u00a0 It never fails to excite me when I see a seedling appear.\u00a0 Not quite the same as that cute Gabe, but the principles are very much the same.\u00a0 DNA works its magic.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
