A garlic bulb, found almost desiccated during a vacuuming, is pushing greenery toward the sky. The cilantro, though, has been wholly devoured by snails.
My husband and I are front-line physicians. Each morning in the urgent care clinic, I take one precious Clorox wipe and decontaminate every computer keyboard, mouse and telephone. At home, we engage in another ritual of cleansing: scrubs, cellphone, keys, our very selves. After a long shift at the hospital, I worry each surface, each breath, each molecule could be contaminated, a fear magnified because I am 28 weeks pregnant.
Now it is spring, and around our plot master gardeners are working their magic: Delicate pea shoots twine up trellises, fat strawberries ripen under plastic casing, crunchy bunches of kale look to be halfway to a salad. This scrappy little garden grants me perspective, a sense of equal parts control and release. I notice with glee that our garlic bulb, found almost desiccated during a vacuuming, is pushing greenery toward the sky. The cilantro, though, has been wholly devoured by snails.
