And sometimes gardening is archaeology, I weeded out the bushes and trees-of-heaven and broadleafs from this cargo-cult “raised bed” that’s as halfassed as anything left behind

(like it’s 2 boards tall so you’re still stooping and no base so roots still communicate with the ground soil)

And now it’s like, infected with onions that musta been down there all along, I have to pull them young to make room for others to grow and I’ve been making them with steak and it’s great

The “and it’s great” bit referred to an attempt that used them with mushrooms and stock to make a sauce where the stock dominated; I tried without that and they’re actually really bitter; I’ll have to wait until they redirect sugars to the bulb or caramelize them or something
