Today, I planted the fast-growing root veggies:
Radishes, carrots, and Hakurei turnips.
They went into soil that resides over a creek.
Each winter the soil accumulates new rocks from the creek.
The rocks hold moisture in place and help the soil.
They also create unusual little dents in our turnips and cause our carrots to grow askew.
The creek fills into the ditch as the snow melts.
After heavy rains, the ditch is like a lake.
And then after two days of hot sunshine,
the water is gone.
The soil is dry, and thirsts for water once more.
