A couple of months ago I discussed the overwhelmingly feeling that I had regarding the vegetable garden. I knew that it was the right thing to do but all that I could see was a mass of weeds…
I could not see the potential and as a result could not find the energy to overcome inertia! A neighbor became my garden mentor, my garden guide although I did not tell her that she was playing this role. Over the last two months I have cleared little areas of weeds, and spread seeds. I would check in with “my guide” as to technique, placement, watering… pretty much everything.
Slowly the seeds have taken root and grown! It is a beautiful sight. As I watched the arugala and Red Russian kale grow, I was inspired to weed a little more, plant a little more. Just bite size pieces of gardening, a little nibble here and there.
Each day as I am preparing my lunch salad I head out to the garden with a pair of scissors and clip the freshest of greens for my salad. And then I stop on the deck to decide on what direction the salad will take, depending on the herb that I clip and add. Will it be mint, or basil, or thyme, or rosemary? Yes, rosemary! The herb chosen will influence that oil used, and on it goes. This creation fills my body and soul! More green in the garden and more green on the plate!
Namaste,
Sydney
