Unexpected Harvest

Autumn came.
 A garden plowed under.
Plants chopped, buried;
seeds, too.
 Rains kept coming.
Sun glowed.
Winds blew from the South.
 Garden's gift has been offered -  
lettuce chilled to crisp perfection.

I have had greens overwinter like this, nice to have something growing in your garden.
