spring planting, spring harvesting, spring garlic One of the great joys of having a job in agriculture is to think days, weeks, even months ahead, One of the great joys of having a job in poetry, like a fireman, a patient planter of love, you wait to be called, then becoming by being, part of an all consuming burning come spring, take advantage of the cool, wet weather of spring to put in multiple crops of peas and lettuce, also a great time to get your perennial vegetables, like asparagus and rhubarb, started the planting cycle is not an either/or, come harvest thy labored fruits, nine crops to harvest come March, kale, pick leaves as needed, leeks, best left in the ground and harvested as needed, parsnips, purple sprouting broccoli, rhubarb, spring cabbage, spring cauliflower, and of course, my personal fav, Spring Garlic Garlic, like like love, is generally planted in the fall, before the frost and harvested the following late summer. But from March to May, once the ground has truly thawed, the young lover plants, spring garlic or green garlic, can be harvested. it’s a long bus ride to Western Canada where the garlic spring has come, ain’t complaining lots of time to write foolishness and plant a few good bus poems in northern ontario and even michigan, the window slides, and the seeds scattered, but at every bus poet stop, those that need it, planted many inches deep April 2 naught how I wish I was nineteen again
