Things to do at 40----Gardening

Things to do at 40 – Gardening

It has been a minute since I wrote some suggestions to you. I guess the time got away from me in the busy, day-to-day toils. That is okay as long as I get back to the “goal” at hand. It’s all good  (I love this statement)

I am not sure if you know this but there are some hobbies you can do around the house. Those activities could help the household while at the same time give your mind and body the mental/physical vacation from the daily stresses. Plus, it could save on the wallet (save money). You know we have to get creative or go back in the day the way our money needs to be stretched.

I have been talking to my mom who happens to be 80 years young and gorgeous (YES, I am biased. YOU ARE TOO! ) just like her lovely gal pals (They are so cute when they get together for girl time). Anyway, I told her how much I wished I had a vegetable garden and how much I missed the home grown food she grew in her garden. Sure, I get vegetables from the farmer’s market or farming vendor. However, nothing is like coming home and walking through your garden or field to pick your vegetables and fruit right off the vine or tree. Talk about some “GOOD EATS” (Love that saying and the show too… ). Plus, the effort and time you put in the soil will give you something to watch grow from the dirt into existence. For some people, this act of toiling, weeding, planting and watering is medicinal physically and mentally.

Gardening can be an individual event as well as a group event. You can take some time while listening to some music and pull some weeds while water your garden. You know if you gardened with a friend or family, it will create a lasting bond with your garden partner (s) or at least show that you can work together. And you can take it one step further to prepare the meal together once you picked something from your garden. How cool would that be? By the way, if you intimidated of plants thinking you don’t have a green thumb, talk to a garden specialist or better yet Big Momma ‘cause you know grandma did some gardening back in the day 

Anyway, I am seriously trying to figure out how to get a garden planted at my place with my type of soil. I’ll consult my mommy-dearest and get some suggestions. I am sure two heads are better than one and we’ll come up with something.

Garden-away!!!!
