I like to garden. I wouldn't say I'm terribly good at it, but it brings me joy just the same. It made me realize that I don't have to be good at something to enjoy it.
I like experimenting and watching things grow - slowly, quickly, or sometimes not at all. Perhaps, in time, as I gain more experience, the results will be more predictable; however, for right now it's a learning experience filled with magnificence and uncertainty . Even a struggling plant is a reminder of patience, nurturing and contemplation.
Sadly, the Sugar Daddy Peas didn't make it.
My gardening space is rather limited as most of my yard is concrete. I use pots to give myself a little more room.
I am in love with my herb pot. I planted spearmint, basil, rosemary and thyme all in the same pot!
Almost daily, I snip a piece off for mint tea or to add a pop of fresh flavor to dinner. It's my new favorite thing that makes me pause, appreciate and bask in thankfulness. It's the littlest things that get me everytime.
Although things may not turn out as intended and things get a little unruly,
I can still make the best of the outcome, appreciating whatever harvest shows up.
After all, it's a huge journey from
seedling
to mature plant. No matter the outcome or whatever happens along the way, it's all good and rather magnificent.
How is your garden growing?
