How to Just Need To Let Go in the Garden
Life doesn’t always go according to plan. Neither do gardens. Here’s why that’s something to celebrate.
Early in the growing season, I planted seeds for mustard greens. These spicy, speckled leaves are delicious sliced up and tossed into hot pasta, or braised like kale or chard. My family enjoyed many a meal from their bounty.
All of a sudden, a heat wave took my mustard plants over the edge—or, more accurately, over the top of the other plants in my lettuce and herb bed. The plants “bolted,” something greens do when the weather gets too intense for their delicate constitutions. At this point in the life of a green, it usually becomes too bitter and tough to eat.
At the same time, I was a busy bee myself. Unexpected houseguests were delightful, but took my attention out of the garden. Work obligations and other demands left me scurrying and my garden briefly ignored.
Just as suddenly, the next time I peered over at the bed of greens, I saw a veritable meadow of tiny, delicate yellow flowers seemingly floating over the bed. It turns out that if you don’t rip out mustard green plants after they’ve bolted, they bloom.
