My Inspiration

As I have gone through the many trials and tribulations of my life, I have always found solace in the garden. No matter how hectic the times, there is something so peaceful and serene about watching the daily developments. My directions have been many including annuals, vegetables and a plethora of perennials. The earliest adventures were in my Dad's garden where tomato plants grew into a jungle, at least 5 foot high and held up by chain link fence pieces just so they could bear the weight of the fruit. Although I have not been able to grow a plant quite so vigorous, I am willing to concede that his method of mulching with fall leaves (and lots of them) has merit. Since I have no trees in my yard, my compost comes from my handy little electric composter. It will come as no surprise to anyone who ever spent time with me and my Dad that I experience the same satisfaction in my garden that he did when tending to his garden.

the Creation

As I was watering and taking notice of the changes that have occured in my garden, I felt the need to chronicle those changes.  I wish I had been inspired a few months ago when things were beginning to take shape but, as we all know, looking back does little good.  So I am beginning now, trying to figure out this blog thing, how to make uploading pictures simpler, and keeping a record of my thoughts and feelings when in my yard.  I look forward to tomorrow when I will have the opportunity to connect my camera and begin logging my successes and (as they put it in the corporate world) opportunities.

    Looking forward to the updates Momma. If I can't be there at least I can see all our hard work as the season goes on. Your garden has always been the most beautiful I have seen and I'm so glad it gives you so much joy! I love you!
