One of the things I love about the gardening off season, about the short time when I can’t (easily) garden outside, is…
It gives me time first to dream and then to plan.
I’m in the dreaming stage right now.
I’m thinking of all the gardens I could experience if I had unlimited time and space and energy and sun. (smiles) Which vegetables would I plant? Which flowers would I plant? What colors and tastes would I experience? What pollinators would the gardens attract?
I close my eyes and I feel the warmth of the sun’s rays on my cheeks. I smell the roses. (literally) I hear the buzzing of the bees and the fluttering of butterfly wings and somewhere in the distance, I hear the chick-a-dee-dee-dee of a chickadee.
It is relaxing and glorious.
Dream of gardens, my friend, lush and semi-wild and so very, very green.
