behold the bounty that is my late summer harvest!

even if it is all miniature

it’s the first time 

i’ve ever grown a vegetable

in my entire life

and so

it’s all perfect and i’m perfectly happy.

 fairy-sized or not.

do not let your grand ambitions stand in the way

of small but meaningful accomplishments.
