Grandmother's Lessons

tomatoes ripen by moonlight-
you get your biggest harvest
when it's full, in august.
water in the evening
(soak the ground,
not the plants)
pick the fruit in the morning.
-and they are a fruit-
so are the beans, cucumbers,
corn, squash and peppers;
so, eat your greens too.
give freely to friends,
neighbors, family, and
can or freeze what remains.
