Day 18: grownostr initiative

We have our first irrigation leak of the year. This reminds me of a quote by Kurt Vonnegut:

“Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.”

I understand this thought. Everyone imagines slicing and eating that tomato picked from the garden, but few think about the many task that make that tomato taste the way it does.

So the next time someone gives you extra vegetables from their garden or you buy delicious produce from a CSA or the farmer's market, remember someone was probably on their knees digging a hole and repairing an irrigation leak to help it grow.
