One of my favorite times of the whole year is Garden Planting Time. I love the days spent with my two favorite people in one of my favorite places at such a vibrant time of year. I'm especially motivated this year because I have been reading
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara
Kingsolver. It is so inspiring.
I got another burst of inspiration after
receiving an email about being featured on a blog. I went to read the write up and got sucked into this
really great gardening blog. I ended up getting some good ideas to build some
trellises. You can see the one above made out of
branches left over from trimming the trees. A couple more down below in the
tepee style.
A trip down to our local organic nursery. We picked up sun sugar cherry tomatoes because they are the closest we can get to lollipop plants (which is what Scarlett wanted), zucchini, green beans, cucumber, more tomatoes (lots), basil, thyme and cilantro.
It was a great way to spend the weekend. All of us working together.
Creating something together. Something that will
nurture and nourish our bodies and our hearts. My mouth is
already watering at the thought of
Caprese Sandwiches for dinner and salsa made from fresh tomatoes. Food grown with love
always tastes the best.

Kingsolver's book totally changed the way I gardened after I read it. And, changed the way I thought about food in general. Michael Pollan's books are great, too.
That book was great.
We are moving into winter here in Australia,but our fam also loves the spring for planting summer veg and the anticipation of fresh tomatoes and basil especially!!!
