[Cooking Up Art] The Garden is In!

Cooking Up Art website


Today, assisted by my sweet angel, Kitte, I was able to fetch my yard
of organic gardening soil. They even gave me 6 little spinach starts
with my purchase! Yay! We transported it home, G and I moved it from
the truck to the garden bed, then I began the process of planting – a
process which I finished just in time. I sowed, labeled, watered and
had just stood back to admire my work when it began to hail. *laughs*
Fret not. My Mom had given me her plastic gallon water jugs a few weeks
ago, so I quickly cut the bottoms off and placed them over the little
spinach starts to protect them from the ice. It’s all beautiful.



I must say, there is nothing quite like the thrill of working in soil.
After a while, I abandoned my shovel and just shifted the earth using
my hands. It’s amazingly satisfying. I am entranced by the smell and
texture of it, and I am in love with how enriching it will be for my
veggies.

Breathe deeply,
Laugh with abandon,
Love wholly,
Eat well.
