Garden Therapy

Gardening is a tool we can use to bring balance to our life and those we love.  It's easy, anyone can do it, it is fairly inexpensive.   Many of us live busy lives and often feel overwhelmed by the chores and daily tasks of our day. So who has time for gardening??? You do!!! Even if you set aside 10 mins a day to plant, water, sit and just gaze on the beauty of what God created, you would be surprised at how much you could get out of it. I'm not saying it will be easy, but I guarantee that you will be more grounded and appreciative of life and all its wonders.

Our garden has been through quite a transformation in the last year plus.  Our first crop were all seedlings we bought a local home store.  Our soil had been sitting waiting to be used for over 15 years.  The only plants growing were weeds.  Our soil was calling our name.  This year with our health, the foods we eat, and our garden have all kicked it up a notch.  Please enjoy the images of our garden from our humble beginnings to the present.

This was our first Spring layout.   Tomatoes and assorted lettuces as well as bush beans.

We have since added wings and bed all around.  This bed is now our sons plot.  He loves it and can easily name many of the plants in our garden.  This bed had cucumbers that lead to so many cucumbers.  Cucumbers are so easy to plant and harvest.

Herbs, leafy greens, and peppers were the first crops in these two beds.  These beds have since been transformed into onions and our soon to be introduced edible flowers.  So exciting!

A lot of time and time and love is shaping Our Little Garden.
