I harvested quite a bit of Black Raddish and Dicon seed from Pirates, both look similar to the image above. Below is an image of Rainbow Red Spinach seed, also harvested from Pirates. These will all be planted in the new garden at Pirates.
Cauliflower seed
Onion seed
Onions for planting this week
Peruvian Amaranth, makes excellent porridge
Freshly harvested Amaranth seeds
You should leave the heads to dry out before doing this next part, but I had little space, so I did it, it means I have a lesser yield of fully developed seeds but enough to have a way better kick start on this land than before.
Isn’t it just beautiful?
I am shaken free
From the core of my deepest dark space I cried out
Surrendered
Swore and swirled around
Unfamiliar ground finally sound
Mind seized
Hearts turn to stone
Discarded…
I am pushing still
From the core of my deepest grace I sing
Wash away
Wash it away …
In the morning I changed
In the evening I changed
The freedom gripped me
I swirl in and out of this dark place inside me
I feel the heaviness of this heart
Of the lives it has lived
Of the body that has drained it
Of the decay beneath this desolate desert
And I rest or rush
Continued despite such sadness and anger
… without reason
Because even reason is temporary
We must learn to swirl, surrender and push
To live
To grow
Reason can only be LIFE
And our currency LOVE
Hearts turn to stone and HURT
