I am very excited about the fact that my garden is growing and we are eating its bounty. I have to chuckle because I planted most of the squares in my sq foot garden in mid-april and as the sprouts began to emerge from the earth, well I asked my husband with all seriousness, “do you think those are weeds or the seeds sprouting?” Ha! Yep this is my very first attempt a gardening, much less growing something from seeds! Now that we are two months in we have enjoyed the beginnings of our harvest, mainly because I can pick at most of the greens and they seem to double overnight.
This whole gardening process has me checking on my garden more than once per day and I am enjoying just being still and listening to my surroundings. …kids laughing, birds chirping, dogs playing. Why did it take me to the end of my 30s to discover such bliss?
