each morning. Food. the leaves were glorious for 2 months, 12 inches and Wide, beauty Full and brilliantly elegant leaves and we harvested them to eat for the beginning of the day, chopped and stirfried with summer squashes, choyte, cilantro, parsley, other greens, as spinach and broccoli, cabbage and a LOT of onions, ginger and garlic. At first with the shiratake pasta and then, back to rice as it was reintroduced. Bragg coconut liquid aminos. Me, sesame chili oil. and then, the
aphids came
we watched. the descimation. slow at first and then with momentum. I kept giving water anyway as they dried and became paper like, those glorious leaves. Yesterday when i went down to give water i found this. Alyssia on her way Out had stopped and clipped them. Laid the leaves gently in front of the strong stems that are still creating green ness. Other places i have lived, ..... done. Enough for this cycle. Here tho, we can plant again. Food again. We feed ourSelves.
