I never expected that one day after months of dutiful watering and fertilizing, I'd notice that 4 tomato plants are as tall as I am. Or that the lettuce is crowding each other and are each larger than the heads I find in the grocery store. Of that I'd have thousands of nasturtiums blooming along my drive.
The beds, which once looked so empty are now overflowing with squash leaves and parsley. The chives are dwarfed by everything else. The red onions are as tall as my knee. I was wondering why I didn't need to weed, and looking up in shock, I notice it's because everything else is shading the ground.
The radishes bolted the second they could, but I've replaced them with turnips, which seem to have no aspirations to bolt. I've had zucchini's and crooknecks every other day for the past week and you wouldn't know by looking at their parent plants.
Josh and I have had salads twice now and we've got plenty more lettuce where that came from. Soon, the carrots will grace those bowls :)
