Nurture your Nature

Summer Daze at The Shallot

Down at The Shallot

[Ajo ]: Summer time fun! Not! But not all of us have an aversion to muggy stifling heat. Me? I just go sit under Old Cottonwood down by the river.

[Lily ]: You left out suffocating. Thank the universe for the Freezer at the Hog.

[Bawang ]: Remember that one time though when we lost electricity. We all went down to Ice House.

[Thoom ]: Good times. Everyone wanted iced tea.

[Meadowlark ]: Well I like summer because it's harvest time.

[Bawang ]: In the mornings.

[Lily ]: Better at night.

[Ajo ]: As long as Thoom has some lemonade ready I can withstand the heat.

[Meadowlark ]: I like checking on the eggplant as I harvest the garlic and if the dillweed is looking good ([Bawang ]: which it always is.) I just snip some. It's also makes me smile to see how well the cabbage and chamomile are doing around the shallots.

[Lily ]: I like collecting onions at the full moon after midnight.

[Bawang ]: Yes, unless someone is howling...

[Thoom ]: No need to mention who. I love how I can get ramps (what Ajo calls wild leeks) in the spring and then leeks later, long after everything else has matured, even into winter.

[Lily ]: Winter!

[Meadowlark ]: Well don't get too gleeful. I'll need help this week before the new moon makes it a bit hard for some to see.

[Ajo ]: Yeah, like me.

[Thoom ]: I'll provide the tea. Iced mint and chamomile should be perfect.
