I don’t brag, I mostly boast

Oooh, update!

I grew a garden (seriously, I ain't no plant killer) then I moved away at peak season.

Love and let go, I guess (in oh so many ways, siiiiiiigh).

Here's what the garden produced successfully:

Returning from last year: carrots, cilantro, strawberries, bachelor buttons, dahlias, kale, chard,

From seed: green lettuce, snow peas, sugar snap peas, cucumbers, blue pole beans, red whirly bird nasturtiums, sunflowers, corn, chives

From starts (from Jenni): chocolate mint, bleeding heart, borage, fennel

From starts (from the market): calendula, purple and green basil, lemon cucumber, squashes, red lettuce

From weeds: daisies, red clover

Also in yard: foxglove, snapdragons, cherry trees, salmonberry bushes, apple tree.

Now I don't live near the garden, but I hear it is still producing and really weedy!

Anyways, I am an earth worshipper and will continue to be, because all I did was weed and water, and I didn't even do that very well, so THANK YOU PLANET EARTH FOR BEING SO AMAZING and letting me learn in my garden.
My metaphor-garden is seeming to be blossoming too in just as many unexpected ways...call for details!!

Love abundant.

Oh and in other news, salal berries, huckleberries, red huckleberries, wild blackberries, himalayan blackberries, thimbleberries (it's a little late) and blueberries are all blowing my mind with their deliciousness.
Hope all is well in your parts of the world, my beautiful people that I love....
