Start 'em young, serve it fresh

Story of this photo: Earlier this week it was raining, which is altogether uncommon in the desert. My big girl Charlotte and I were moving some of my container plants out from under the eaves so they could get rained on.

Afterward we checked on my raised bed around the corner, and I decided to snap off a broccoli head for dinner. Charlotte asked to carry it back home, and it looked so huge in her small hands that I ran to grab my camera. Then she took a big old bite out of the broccoli and smiled right before I took the shot.

Good (or bad) timing?

So I planted seeds on Sunday, and by Wednesday night 0.62 inches of rain had fallen.

Hopefully half my seeds didn't get washed away. I went by late Tuesday afternoon and everything seemed fine. We shall see.
