Gardening 2009 at Elder Maison


Today is March 15 and I have now planted lettuces, some spinach, cilantro and basil. I am about to move the cilantro and basil seedlings to larger pots and this will leave cucumbers and swiss chard for later this week.

Interestingly, I have always felt gardening reminded me too much of my mother --- the excellent gardener --- and therefore I never expanded to edible plants! This is sticking my toe in the large ocean of learning to grow my food and I know I will enjoy the next logical step ---learning how to store food. So with composting, gardening and trying to keep the trash down to only one can a week --- I feel we are making a dent on our changes but something still feels missing. I've resigned myself to trusting this 'process' and being open to more changes in my small existence here in landlocked OKC.

Here is hoping that all of it survives our crazy weather!
