have a garden

Well, a long time has passed since my last entry on this and I guess a few things have certainly changed… I now have a house with a little yard, and have done a whole lot of prep work this year to add more soil (organic no less), and some fertilizer (all natural mushroom manure), and have planted a few things – just a couple of hostas which are doing well, and some lily of the valley which is not doing well at all.

I also put a few perennials in the side flower bed – daffs and crocuses and a few other spring things (will need to add some later bloomers as well or it will be a very seasonal flowerbed that’s for sure).

Then, dare I dream… cherry tomatoes?

I love gardening. It is so peaceful to work with the earth and so satisfying to build something of your own for others to enjoy and so inspiring to watch beautiful things grow from tiny seeds.

It might be a while before I have a place with a yard, so I’m not sure when this might have any forward progress.

One thing I will look into though, is I believe there is a community garden project down the road from me. I’ll see what they’ve got going on and whether I might be able to get involved there to start until I have a little patch of land of my own.
