Aromatics

Harvesting first thing in the morning is the best! I hardly knew where to begin until I saw a whale-like cucumber lurking below the vines. Tomatoes were literally dropping into my hands, and within the hour I had harvested several bags of peppers, eggplant, tomatoes, carrots, cucumbers, chard, and Chinese broccoli. A fifty-pound morning was pretty good for the two hours I worked.

Cutting the sage and thyme was the highlight. Perfume filled the air as the scissors sliced away.
