When We Garden, We Create A Protected And Nurturing Space For Plants To Flourish Unlike A Good Chair,

When we garden, we create a protected and nurturing space for plants to flourish… Unlike a good chair, a good garden is constantly changing, as it adapts to the changing circumstances of weather and the seasons. And in the long run, that kind of varied, flexible, complex, dynamic system will be more robust and adaptable than the most carefully tended hothouse bloom.

Harvested my first green pepper this week along with a neverending supply of salad greens and herbs. Originally mistaken for basil, bell pepper ended up being the most fruitful plant in my garden thus far.

Archie's pumpkin patch has really shot up, so I upcycled a couple of old ladders to trellis the vines alongside the house. It's funny how well certain plants do with little to no attention, while my meticulously maintained greenhouse has produced one glorious green pepper. Nature seems to have its own plan.

Surplus seedlings in the 'Little Free Garden' today include: cucumbers (regular & miniature), summer squash, tomatoes (cherry & beefsteak), zinnias and wildflower variety seed packets. 🌱
