bean sprouts

andalente gente- don't you see
all they need is you and me
to plant the original seed
far away from moneys greed
a peaceful plot to center self
make sure you have food on your shelf
see your connect with all around
through those seeds we will be found

Food for thought ... Che (Black Bean Soup) by Brazilain artist Vik Muniz.

We planted beans on Saturday and they decided to break through today. Little green sprouts poked their way through the dirt and started to show themselves. Yesterday, they were nowhere to be found, but today, they were already almost an index finger tall. I heard they grow fast & they are breathtaking.
I like the way they sprout up from my observation, they are slightly coiled and only as they develop do they extend their bean faces to the full Sun.. and from their work in growth, other sprouts will grow from their shoulders. Absolutely breathtaking.
More silk & tassels are making appearances and it seems that we have taken care of our ant problem altogether also. So, my advice is that if you are having ant issues, the best remedy I could recommend would be a mixture of coffee grounds and raw instant grits. One detracts and the other destroys, in respective order :)
