something ironic about being excited to grow herbs on the patio of my brooklyn condo and being one generation away from my dad who grew up subsistence farming in the fallout of the cultural revolution lol

i grow plants from kitchen scraps, ie white+root of scallions. keepe in water,wait 2 weeks, plant in dirt. i've been doing this since the start of the pandemic and now the scallions pop up by themselves (perennials?!). fun way to bridge the hardscrabble with the boogie.
