I had already planted a bed of red storage onions, but how could I NOT get a bundle of these with such a name? I planted the Red Zeppelin onions in their very own raised bed, and look forward to some rockin’ recipes this summer! In honor of these onions, all the rain we’ve been getting lately, and a band I have enjoyed listening to many a time, here are the words to one of my favorite Led Zeppelin songs.
A love song to onions on a rainy day in March. Maybe it will help them grow.
The Rain Song
This is the springtime of my loving – the second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing – so little warmth I’ve felt before.
It isn’t hard to feel me glowing – I watched the fire that grew so low.
It is the summer of my smiles – flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
Speak to me only with your eyes. It is to you I give this tune.
Ain’t so hard to recognize – These things are clear to all from
Time to time.
Ain’t so hard to recognize – These things are clear to all from
Time to time.
I’ve felt the coldness of my winter
I never thought it would ever go. I cursed the gloom that set upon us…
But I know that I love you so
These are the seasons of emotion and like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion – I see the torch we all must hold.
This is the mystery of the quotient – Upon us all a little rain must fall
~Led Zeppelin
I love it! I've never heard of these onions but I'd a had to buy them too. There is a tomato called the Hillbilly that I want to plant just because of the name……LOL
Wonderful! I must look after such onions!:))
