Ahh…finally we get some country in the city!\"\"<\/p>\n

My Uncle Lance told my mom about the P-patch garden here in Belltown. These gardens are set up all over Seattle. Anyone can get on a waiting list to get a plot assigned for organic gardening. They grow all kinds of fruits, vegetables and flowers. And they rake leaves into a big pile that’s perfect for sniffing. <\/p>\n

My mom takes me over there on nice days. It’s like a little park oasis in the city, she says. She smells the flowers and sighs wistfully at the plump tomatoes. I am not allowed to enter the gardening beds (like, why would I want to? nothing interesting there). But I’m sniffing some dried l leaves. <\/p>\n

It’s a beautiful sunny day, my mom says. Let’s enjoy the weather.<\/p>\n

It’s a nice pile of dead stuff, I say. What could be better? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
