Vegetation – Oceano, CA

For their morning walks, Ruthi and Karma take a country lane around the local farm right next door to the RV Park. This particular field is for cauliflower and cabbage – 2 of Karma’s favorite treats. She’s really a vegetarian except for celery. Carrots, broccoli, peas, cauliflower, cabbage, romaine lettuce ribs, etc. are really treats for her while Boots is fixing our dinners.

After the crop is harvested, they plow the remaining vegetation back into the ground to fertilize the next planting. In the process, some bits and pieces are left on the edge of the field/road. The smell of these raw cut pieces must be overpowering for Karma as she goes from one chunk of cauliflower leftovers to the next as they walk down the lane.
