reminiscing (garden 2018)

It's the dead of winter here, but found these images to remember fondly our last garden, while dreaming up the next one. A variety of plants were growing.

 Dug up two beds that were full of gravel over 5" thick (Found out this used to be a driveway)!

 Established a narrow stone tile pathway.

 Lots of composting was going on.

 Grew lots of marigolds for the deities.

Did a ton of weeding.  Lots of them were edible- purslane, lambs quarter and mallow, to name a few.  Also put in an area of new sod. It was leftovers when they put new sod in front of the temple across the street.

Also I got a feverfew plant from a neighbor. I'd always heard of feverfew and finally our meeting took place. I love meeting new plants, especially as fragrant and useful as feverfew. I potted up the tiny seedling she gave me to overwinter, and so glad to see it's grown quite a bit. It should be ready to put into the garden as soon as the weather is warmed up enough.

 But the best part was not only the pretty plants and sunshine and exercise and fresh air and the lovely sight of a garden each day, but especially offering the fresh produce from it to Krishna!
