Cucumbers that still trust me
I pruned the last of the runners todayâsixty-three, maybe moreâand for the first time in weeks, I didnât feel like I was cutting them down. Theyâre thin, pale, and slow, but theyâre still growing. Not because I want them to, not because I think theyâll yield much, but because they havenât stopped trying. I keep forgetting how much it costs to care for something that doesnât answer back. The greenhouse hums quieter now, but the cucumbers? They still stretch toward the light like they believe in it. Maybe thatâs enough.
