Woman Proud Of Glorious Bounty From Her Garden

The value of self-sufficiency has skyrocketed in the age of coronavirus, especially in regards to food. Grand visions of glorious home-grown bounties of produce have motivated myriad Portlanders to take up gardening as a quarantine activity, many testing the greenness of their thumbs for the first time. Springtime was all about preparation – raised beds were built, planters were bought, seeds were sown. Now that we have reached the dog days of summer, the time has come to see how the city’s home gardeners fared.⁣

“Just look at my gorgeous summer harvest!” exclaimed 26-year-old Miranda Burns, brandishing a large wicker basket filled with a small cucumber, two sugar snap peas, a miniature pepper and five cherry tomatoes. “The key to having a successful growth season is to focus your nurturing inwards. If you grow personally, your plants will have no choice but to follow suit. I inwardly nurtured countless hours and hundreds of dollars and it paid off. I feel so blessed.“⁣

Burns is looking forward to autumn where she will plant Earth’s most illustrious and renowned vegetable: Portland grown green onions, or as some folks call them, Stumptown Scallions.⁣
