In Ground Gardening
I have officially begun my fall garden. I started feeling the itch late August. This is my first season in a townhouse. The last 5 years, I've had a large garden in my backyard. We composted, harvested, weeded, nibbled, learned and grew, in more ways than one! I learned how important proper soil is and the root system much like our very own bodies. The soil may represent our environment. The root system may portray our background, upbringing, where we came from or where or how we are rooted today. I love relating gardening to our body and mind and how we grow, blossom and flourish! My garden gave me so much happiness and taught exponentially!
Urban Gardening
Moving to a townhouse with no gardening space was a major adjustment. Thankfully, we moved during the summer where I choose not to fight with the Florida heat. I take the summer off from gardening and then..... start to get the itch. This time was a different. I began visualizing where I would put a variety of planters and researching urban gardening. This inspired me to learn something new! I wanted to make sure to grow my collards, mustard greens, kale, lettuce, arugula, herbs and whatever else I could squeeze in and around my little area! Ironically, it just so happened that I planned on doing most of my planting on the Fall Equinox. I found planters where you water the roots and underneath as opposed to watering on top. Makes great sense. My 'hanging baskets' is a multi-pocketed planter made of an eco-friendly fabric. http://growvertical.net/. I'm so pumped up about these!! This urban garden will be simple but prolific! I already found a frog on my 2nd floor balcony! I still have a few planters in mind to make so I'm not finished yet. But, that's what I love about gardening. We continue to 'grow'!
I look forward to watching this new garden thrive and hope my neighbors and those walking around the area will enjoy it too! Lately, I feel drawn to wear yellow, black and white. Maybe it's my way of being a little bumble bee buzzing around my garden! Happy Growing!
