74. Pam Rachootin's Garden Haiku Series for Cathy Stirling

Garden Haiku Series

 

Crappy soil reigns

With tree root competition

It's hard as concrete.

 

I tried zucchini,

grown in deluxe potting mix.

Mildew developed.

 

A possum attack

decimated the broad beans;

the remnants, now caged.

 

Parsley's gone to seed

with silver beet and spinach;

Leaves chomped by insects.

 

Who has a green thumb?

Not me, with Raynaud's disease

and purple fingers.
