Get Out and Get Active

 Are you gardening this year? I certainly am. 

I have chose gardening as one of my self care activities which I spoke on last year. But I also love gardening bc of the physical labor it entails. Gardening is a great opportunity to get in the sunlight, stay active, and have healthy food options. Those are just a few benefits that come from gardening!!

Its been an uphill battle that is for sure. I am growing green beans, collard greens, basil, a small bit of lettuce, cucumber, and tomatoes. My green beans are growing like crazy. Those are my favorite to grow. I’ve probably gotten a harvest 6 or 7 times this year. The collards are struggling right now but I have a feeling its the caterpillars who are eating them up. More pictures to come but no judgment on the garden area right now- I am a working girl so it's a whole mess after a few days of not getting down in the dirt.

Next year or maybe even in the fall I am considering doing some plants outside of my fence so that my neighbors can enjoy some of the produce as well. I’ve never done anything like that before. My thought is that a few years down the road I’ll know enough to be able to have a community garden. One that others can contribute to. That is a long way off though. So for now I’m sticking to the gardening basics which is stick with what you know.

Anyway message me on Instagram (my link is to the right) for feedback on what your favorite kind of plant to grow is! Below are photos from my garden so far this summer.
