Daily Harvest


After the rain we always find more glass. In the break in our rainy weather this morning we went out and planted peas, put up grow cloth (to keep out the neighbor's cat and our chickens) and picked up the newly exposed glass.

I was wondering how long it will take us to get all of it. We have already turned over every part of our yard building beds and paths by hand and removed all of the trash we could find. Even so, when it rains more appears!

In a year will we look back and think "Oh yeah, we totally used to have to look for pieces of glass in the garden" or will our grandchildren still go out after the rain and pick up glass?

Good Gravy, those are hefty looking slabs of glass. Last fall a big windstorm blew over the umbrella dropped through the little hole in the middle of our glass table in the yard & I discovered the entire table shattered into small 1/8th inch bits of glass....in the overgrown grass. I spent a couple of days digging as much out as I can find, & also wonder if your grandchildren will be digging more out.........???
