With our digging forks we dug And with our hands we tugged Unearthing garlic on a sunlit morning. We pulled up Zemo, then some Jack Taking full wheelbarrows to the barn And bringing empty ones back. We harvested it all after harvesting four rows With eight people it’s amazing how fast it goes. Then we tied with our hands Bundling garlic with twine strands Stringing them under the old barn roof. Some of us tied knots While some of us hung. Some worked and talked While some worked and sung. We hung up hundreds, and more and more! Til leaves and fallen cloves littered the floor. Now admire! A morning’s work is done! Who knew that garlic could be so much fun. By Amelia Kaufman, 2013 Crew Leader! Comments are closed.
