Garden Green

I’ve gardened a little in the past and I’ve read a lot about gardening, but this year I’m really trying to understand how to be successful at it.  What I can say so far is I’m having to exercise a lot of patience.  Beginning with starting a seed indoors weeks before it even gets in the ground to watching it slowly grow- nature just goes along at such a slower pace than we do.  To stop, watch and listen to all the little things around me is truly a joy.  Just being around the garden with my children is such a blessing, they feel it’s draw to look in to see what’s going on… what seeds have sprouted, what flower is blooming.  Discovery and wonder……. it’s rubbing off on me.
