These are the shallots
That almost got washed.
They were in my pocket.
I’m surprised they weren’t squashed.
Picking them was easy
When out tending the yard
Apparently remembering them later
Was the part that was hard.
They made it inside
and into the laundry pile
They made it downstairs
I think they were there for a while.
Gratefully, Keith
Doing laundry so well
Saved our clothes
From a horrific smell.
He fished them out
And brought them to safety
Into the kitchen
Where they try to look tasty.
You see they didn’t want
To be laundered or cleaned
They wanted to chopped
And sauteed or steamed.
Stirred into risotto
Or softened in butter
Anything, anything at all
Related to supper.
So heed the lesson
From this forgetful wench
Remember your shallots
And avoid the stench.

Our garden sucks this year. The squash has been eaten, so I planted some more. That was eaten. The tomatoes are still only 6 inches high – they just aren’t growing. Lettuce was a short season – it went from cold to HOT! and it bolted very quickly. The strawberries were flavorless and the peas were non-existant. Beans are coming up, thankfully. Basil is weak. Garlic is getting harvested tomorrow. Keith’s hot peppers are just as big as when I moved them outside over a month ago. Potatoes are going to be our biggest crop. I did a new style of planting area and I think it will really work for them. Pictures coming soon, fingers crossed.
Needless to say, we’re a bit bummed out. It was a gray spring and has been a wet summer and not much really took off. Waah, enough of that. I might go to the garden center and *shudder* buy a big tomato plant. I started San Marzano and Black Plum and was hoping to see the fruits of those labors.
On another note, Pinchy, the limpy chicken is out and about. Her limp is slight, but still there. She is getting picked on, but not as badly as I had feared. Stay tuned!
