It’s so true. One of my happiest moments too is that morning stroll about the garden. Basking in the health, virility, abundance, personal achievement in its stewardship. It is rewarding indeed – and something that’s hard to communicate to those that think gardening is only hard, life-sapping work.

As a teacher, this was always a magical time of year in the class room when I used to teach elementary. The seeds would be planted, and every day – nothing. Glum faces. Then, suddenly KER-POW! The seedling sprung from the earth and reached up to the sun. Children danced. I love that magic and feel it every year in the garden. Once the season starts, every morning, very early – before anyone else is awake, I put on my sandals and shuffle in to the garden in my pj’s. Pulling the tender new weeks, celebrating a new leaf or flower on a tomato plant … or any plant. Whispering grow… I am still astounded at how much some plants can grow on a hot day. Astounded.
