Treasure Hunt

Today's spider haiku-

Baby spider webs
Growing in the compost pile
Many bugs to eat

(Going back and forth about whether "pile" is one syllable or two for the purposes of this haiku. I went with one in this version but it could easily be two syllables and just take out the "the".)



Eva and I spent some time digging up garlic today. I am amazed at how much we found- and such large cloves! We dug up about 2/3 of what is back there so far.

Lovely garlic - you've reminded me to check mine out. Not as good as yours I expect. Where they planted from cloves on purpose or a natural happening?

Not sure where the treasure hunt comes in to it the title.

The Treasure Hunt just refers to the garlic :) We are never quite sure where the garlic is if my daughter pulls the stem out so we dig around quite a bit.

The garlic was here when we moved here and keeps making more tiny garlic cloves each year to reseed itself. I pull out the large cloves and leave the little ones for next year. It is amazing!
