The Miracle
Monday, October 20th, 2008
I had a customer ask me the other day in the store how one clove of garlic makes a whole bulb and all I could think to answer at the moment was “Why that’s the miracle of life!”
I think he wanted a little more scientific explanation at first but seemed highly satisfied with my answer.
I have never planted a Hubbard squash in my garden but every year for the past 3 years I have had these magnificent squash miraculously appear in my garden. I harvested around 10 of these giant, blue beauties each weighing around 20 pounds each. The flavor is unmatched in the squash world. The seeds must have originally gotten into my compost.
I don’t really care how they got there all I know is that this garden is a miracle and I am grateful for its tasty abundance.
