June rolled his tractor yesterday while maintaining a massive leaf pile burn. Thankfully he wasn't hurt, but this is something you hear about, people getting injured or killed in tractor accidents. I know that Doc Watson's son, Merle, went that way.

Wild vegetables.

There is talk of planting onions in the coming weeks. There is now an empty plot of land where the leaf pile once stood. It gets a lot of sun. I'm pushing to plant sorrel there. I like the name and I've seen it growing in the medieval herb garden at The Cloisters, near the espaliered pear tree. How to keep the deer away from the sorrel?

Sickle moon on the rise.
