If you follow my social media you know just how in LOVE I am with my garden!! It means so much to me! It's literally like one of my children! First harvests are so bittersweet because I almost hate picking them!! I love going out to talk to them in the mornings. They were the very firsts to be strong enough to sprout and I think they are just simply amazing! I wish they could continue to flourish where they are but as we know they must be picked!! And We all I know Ima turn them into something delish.. So today was first harvest day, I put it off til this afternoon then I got my daughters to join me for round one!! The bitterness was soon replaced with excitement and pride! I love seeing my family amazed, shit I be amazed! I grew them from seeds!! Every year my garden gets little bigger.. this year eggplant is the star! With a cucumber running dangerously close and the reapers bringing up the rear! Who am I kidding, they are all stars!! There is so much more to come!!!! I swear having a garden is like Christmas everyday!! That garden gives me a certain sense of purpose.. Knowing that it's counting on me is enough to keep me going!!! I've found a peace in my gardening that can't be bought!! That garden really out here educating and making me better and shit! It has taught me patience, discipline, and most importantly that ANYTHING you nurture grows!!! I hope you all are enjoying my navigation of life through food!! Thanx for reading!!
