Growing Peace and Grounding...
This year we began a garden, to do this we had to create a box and put dirt that would sustain life into the box.. we live in Phoenix Arizona. During this process, which started back in November of 2007, we put a few seeds into pots on the window sill... about a month or two later we had several dozen really nice baby plants, parsley, tomatos, sage, peppermint, celantro and a few we have yet to identify!About February we began to construct the outside box of cinder blocks and rebar, filling it with some garden soil, mulch and compost. After we were sure there wasn't going to be another frost we began to plant the tiny plants in the garden, soon we bought some larger tomato plants, brocoli, cauliflower, bell and jalepeno peppers - also planted from seed sunflowers, onions, and lettuce. You may be thinking, dang how big is this box?? Well, it's about 12 feet by 5 feet and 3.5 feet deep. That's all.
It's been really fun watching all the baby plants grow and thrive in the garden, we have picked lettuce and enjoy it with every meal as we have a TON of it in two varieties!
A garden really connects you with the Earth and the abundance that is available, there is enough and enough to share... this bring Peace and community. Try it for yourself!
