This was a kitchen garden I helped plant for my friend Peppe at
her farm in Versailles (she also took the photo). Here, I’m
sowing beans next to spring radishes in late spring. By the
time the beans need more room the radishes will be harvested.

  1. Dear Susie, do you ever sing while working in the garden? I can spend hours weeding and singing myself. South Pacific tunes are my current favorite but I am also partial to old gospel songs. Have fun in your beautiful garden. I am a new fan!

  2. Maudie,

    All I can say is that it’s a good thing the garden is in a remote location as I do sing. Loudly. Lately it’s been “Blister in the Sun” by the Violent Femmes (a far cry from “Some Enchanted Evening” to be sure), which is pretty much all suggestive lyrics but it sums up what it feels like to be weeding a Kentucky garden in July. And since we have a gravel road to the garden there’s “Car Wheels on a Gravel Road” by Lucinda Williams though I change the words to “Truck Wheels” or “Tractor Wheels” depending on what’s a coming.

    I’m also partial to Bill Monroe’s “Working on a Building,” when I’m swinging a hoe as it seems like the perfect chain gang song. I’ll upload a song soon when I find a copy of it.
