Seed Farm Intern Notes: Solo Early Morning Farm Walk
by Tusha Yakovleva
Fawns love mornings too
|
The asparagus looks like an icy pine tree right after sunrise
|
In the morning, there is time to give the almost blooming Gift Zinnia a moment of my undivided attention
|
And another moment to the merlot hues of Merlot lettuce
|
Pea flowers, heavy with dew (or just sleepy?) stay closed until the sun dries them out in later morning
|
Tomatoes are always this hairy, but mornings are the best time to see all their fuzzy glory
|
The sun spills over the farm slowly, starting from the front, and creeping toward the back through the morning
|
Until finally, the whole place is sunlit and the nearest shade is inside the barn
