Extended Season

By Nate Carman

Grab all you can of the fruit of the vine. The harvest is long, and the taste so divine. To grow the ground in bounty, you thin the young and prune the old. For a branch that has too much is as bad a season too cold. And a row that is overwhelmed will only all die. Pull the fruit off as often as desired. The plant will recover and wait to retire. Don’t wait too long, the skin will be tough. The baby growth offers great sweetness enough. As the season moves on the field does yields less. Soon it will be time to clean up the mess. Cover the ground or to nature regress. Plan next season’s cache. See it in your mind. To get the best seed you save up the cash.
