Growth

Having a garden is an amazing experience. As it grows, you grow. No need to think, "as it fails, you fail," because that doesn't happen. Ever. Gardens don't fail. They just go untended sometimes.

Here's my garden as of late-August (right), compared to my garden from mid-June (left).


In the front are lots of marigolds and herbs. Behind them my cruciferous vegetables. Cruciferous probably means crucify (cruci) those who eat the iron-rich (ferous) plant... possibly due to bad smells. Behind this is my beet square (2nd beet crop of year). Three Brussels sprouts line my right side (next to neighboring weeds) and red cabbages line the left side. Also includes: jalapeno, fennel, celery, catnip, arugula, purslane, flowers.

F-yeah

  1. Love this! Do you have a yard or did you buy/rent space in a community garden?
