Dirty Fingers

Amaranth and Kale

GARDENING is such a soul-saver sometimes. It allows me to breathe, to think my own thoughts, to bend my body in ways it doesn’t often get the chance to grow. And the idea that the act of putting a seed -a tiny spec of potential- into the ground and pouring water onto it will eventually result in something you can eat still seems a little miraculous to me!

My tomatoes are finally bearing fruit, the basil smells so nice, and my squash are taking over everything! On the down side, my potatoes never made it past the initial breaking through the ground. Well, I guess you can’t have everything.
