Why I love gardening

Gardening is something that I've always loved to do. I find it very relaxing to dig in the dirt, squishing it in my hands and between my toes. I love watching seeds grow from sprouts to buds to full on plants that grow things. Also I find it quite relieving of stress to use any anger/tenseness to hack at the ground and tear weeds out of the ground. I've been working on the side garden at our new house for the past couple months. With countless hours of work it's gone from being weed-ridden and gross looking to decent but full of rocks to now halfway rockless. Soon we will be able to mix our potting soil and mushroom manure with the soil that's already there. After that, know what I can do? PLANT SEEDS AND SSSSSSSSStuff. I have yellow peppers, oregano, basil, snow peas, sugar snap peas, green beans, carrots, radishes, asparagus, raspberries, strawberries and blueberries. This will be fun :)
I've been gardening since I was in like grade 2. It started with my Grandma and Beppe. Both of my parents parents lived on farms and both had big veggie gardens. I would always go out with them and help them pick whatever they needed. Grandma taught me a very very useful life lesson while I was helping her, it was that weeds are the enemy. Always. Since then I if I garden I can't stand if I can see any weeds peeking through the surface so out they come.
I like to think that gardening has had an impact on my values and problem solving tactics. I'm not entirely sure though. I'd say that the tactics of a gardener would be that whenever a problem arose whether it be big or small they would dig dig dig down until the roots of the problem are exposed and can be removed as painlessly as possibly and so that it does not grow back. Also they must keep a close eye and devote a lot of time to keeping their garden weed free and the same with their life because if you leave a weed for too long it will become one of those pesky buggers that has roots 3 feet long that are grounded in the clay bed beneath the good soil (yes I have indeed experienced that over the past couple weeks.) A gardener will do what will provide the best growing environment for their crops/plants no matter the work it will take. The long and laborious hours are so very worth it when a few months later you're eating what you planted and you have so much that came from so little.
I'm hoping that all my time spent in the garden will translate into where my life takes me. Meaning when I have a family and little chilluns of my own running around screaming all over the place. ;)
That's all for now
Much love

screw logic.

love rarely listens to logic

you can try to run but it will follow

don't be scared to let love in

it isn't supposed to be easy

it brings joy and pain together

it warms your heart and tears you apart

but no matter how hard it is sometimes

love is from God in every way

as long as He is the foundation

anything is possible

love is possible
