Crops in the Hood
Every year the rich land beneath the hood produces a bumper crop of heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, lemons, and, this year, giant 12-foot-tall sunflowers that I grew from seeds. Later on, we'll have giant pumpkins, too. Maybe it's the sunshine and fertile soil. Maybe it's the stimulating vibrations of passing cars with the stereos set on "stun". But my garden is amazing.
