gardening as community

today i received one of the best gifts: golden raspberry starts. a friend had been thinking ahead and brought them to church for me in a bucket.

the anticipation of putting in a garden seriously thrills me. and doing it together is even better.

all of the generative moist earth of spring gives way to what will become autumn's harvest. i simply can't wait to get my hands dirty.

another woman that i walk with has already talked about sharing extra seeds with me. and i've been asking my neighbor what her favorite vegetables are.

counting down to rototilling at the end of may... and how will your garden grow?
