Of Onions and Peaches

Unwrap an onion and find beneath the layers nothing but tears. While the peach beneath the fuzz and the succulent flesh yields a hard but sometime fertile stone to carry the future

In one of my blues poems I wrote "Love is like an onion. Keeps me crying all the time."

Yup. Did you ever try growing one. I have a son who gets a kick out of seeing how many different kinds of seeds he can coax into growing. He has grown avacado, lemon, apples, peach, orange seeds, and acorns. Cool, actually.

Cool, and thanks for reading. We've occasionally had them germinate from our compost but never grown. We do grw\ow onions, leeks and garlic.
