Lately I've had the urge to grow a garden. It was one of the main reasons I wanted a home with a yard, to grow my own food. The slow food movement is a big deal here in the Bay Area, everyone is always talking about from farm to table and growing your own organic produce. I'm tired of talking about it, I'm ready to do it...
I have no idea what I'm doing. My boyfriend was kind enough to build me a garden box filled with soil he got from a friend, apparently he thinks I'm capable of growing a garden. I think I am too, I just don't know much about it yet. I was falsely encouraged by our odd warm winter weather this year and headed to the garden store. I plopped some seeds in the ground, literally plopped them in. I wanted to plan out my garden, I really did. I was just so excited, I couldn't wait. I dug little holes with a spoon in slightly straight rows, plopped in some seeds and watered them. The seeds included organic Red Russian Kale, spinach, chives and sage.
So the seeds are in the ground. Now it's time to wait....and wait...and wait. I'm checking every day, no signs of life yet. I've been having dreams about a little green leaf popping through the dirt, so I know it's on the way. I'm excited, I think I'm a little inspired by the magic of it all.
