Comfort for the Bruised Soul

Garden dreaming....
Take a breath. Look about. It is only a little 4’x 8’ section of dirt framed by untreated 2 by10s. Just dirt, well, good dirt mixed with compost and commercial garden soil. It still seems daunting to begin again after a soul bruising winter. Take a breath. Here we go.

Three tomato plants, one red pepper plant, a hill of pickling cucumbers, two rows of 35 bean seeds, two dinosaur kale plants and one green/blue eggplant, (the blossoms of eggplant are so beautiful!)

There lies hope. Hope that the summer will fill the box with texture and color and smells and hidden secrets of blossoms to fruit. I stand for a moment, a little sad that the time to plant was so short. And so it begins again – The Garden.
This is the new garden, a place to dig.
A place to plant, a place to care.
I'll keep you posted on this project.
Thank you for visiting. It is good to be back. Please check A Homestead Decade, How Crunchy Granola Changed My Life  an Amazon Kindle e-book. Lots of fun to read. Cheap.
Enjoy summer, Helene
