I harvested this arugula from my garden. It's such a wonderful feeling eating what you grow. |

Writing this as I sit at the salon with jet black dye on my hair. I should be relaxing while this dye soaks in and gives me the illusion of a “younger” me. Instead I decided to type this post really quick. Where have I been? Well - I’ve been working and focusing most of my time in the yard / garden. I never thought I’d actually grow anything besides the herbs I’ve always grown at home but a simple task turned into a full on garden with several veggies and fruits. It is such a physically exhausting task since not only was I trying to start this garden but also trying to fix the yard. It has been “abandoned” since my mom passed away. As exhausting as it is, it is also very rewarding. It’s been a little over a month but to see the transformation that has taken place thus far has been amazing! So far I’ve harvested strawberries, arugula and mint. I truly can’t wait until everything is ready! Lately I can’t wait to run home after work to check what awaits me and on the weekends I can’t wait to get up, make my coffee and run to the garden. As I sip my coffee I walk around and do my inpections and plan what has to be done for the day. I never expected this to be the place I want to spend most of my time. Yes, like I mentioned it’s exhausting YET so mentally relaxing / therapeutic.
So, as some of you know, this is my very first garden, my first time growing fruits / veggies. I decided to do both a garden bed and earth. My mom and step-dad did this often (pots and earth) and they’re the ones that encouraged me to do it. With that being said as things progress I can already see where I went wrong, what I’d do differently, what isn’t working and what I won’t attempt to grow next year. I’m currently planning what fall crops to plant - pumpkin for sure!!! Needless to say I’m excited and hopeful for a successful harvest. I invite you to embark on this journey and I’m even open to suggestions / advice.
As always - THANK YOU!
