The Most Important Thing I’m Learning In The Garden

The garden this year has been different for me than past years in that it was such a joy – really every part of it was.  At the end of last year I had to have a real heart check about why I was doing some of the things I was doing.  In the garden, with food preservation and even beyond that I felt so burned out and nothing was fun.  The joy I felt in my garden this year was not reflective of its success.  Half of it turned to weeds, the tomato plants fell over, and a woodchuck chewed through our soaked hose.  But the wild success was finding joy in every part of the garden even the failures.  Being able to embrace failing is the most important thing I’m learning in the garden.
