The Beauty in Growing

Well I know I'm behind on posts. Like miles behind...but I suppose it's just a sign that I'm being productive, which I have been, very much so. 

I can tell with out a doubt this summer/year is a growing period in my life. Maybe not a physical one, but a mental and understanding one. At times I think it makes me feel a little crazy, but I know it means I'm learning and growing from my experiences.

In just the same way as my garden! Our first solo attempt at a garden (not that we both didn't grow up around parents with gardens) but this is just us...and of course helpful hints from others. 

No denying it. 

The beginning...

Fact of life: weeds are gonna always find their way into your life, you decide if you let them hang around.

The rows are made up of:

•brussels sprouts

•every pepper known to man

•cucumbers

•sweet potatoes

•corn 

We had our first jalapeño Sunday night, fresh from the garden...and it was deadly spicy but amazing. 

I've found myself becoming attached to the garden and all the plants in our flower beds. It's a good feeling caring for something that cannot care for its self and seeing it flourish. So many things in this life are the same as my plants...love and happiness need the same care and nourishment or they too will wilt. Oh Lordy I'm preaching I know, but I think I'm preaching to myself just as much as anyone else.

I have so many crafties to share with yall...I promise to get to postin'! Until then, Keep on growing little loves.
