On Keeping a Garden

No idea what I'm doing,
Maybe it will show.

Layered cake,
PB&J,
But you have to get the foundation right.

Break it up,
Mix in something good,
Sweet, new.

Something to feed on,
Black, rich, living.

Then seeds,
A little bit of everything

But mostly lush lettuces and flowers.

See what sticks,
Thin it out later.

Finally pine-bark mulch for protection against
Silent heat,
Greedy weeds.

Keep the good things in.

Then
water
water
water
