This morning we harvested a few items from our small garden. The take so far has been rather meager because of two factors: 1) A big-footed Saint Bernard who thought the area had been prepared for recreational purposes. 2) A ravenous and vindicative gopher who delights in cutting plants off at the ground right when they're ready to produce.
But here's the thing --- in our tiny collection of vegetables we found a miracle!
We're not sure what to make of this expressive fava bean. Was it a sign from a higher being, meant to indicate that we should take life less seriously? Was it evidence that plants are beginning to evolve faces, as Tom suggested? Daisy, for her part, couldn't understand the excitement.
What do you think? Please vote to the right and help us settle this important question.
