Retirement

Hello everyone, this week I was not able to fully attend to my garden due to several different circumstances. One, my Dad is retiring from the Air Force this weekend after 24 years of faithful service. I decided to fly back home this weekend to share in this special moment with him. Two, I attempted to care for my garden on two different days, Wednesday and Thursday. Unfortunately the gardens were being watered both times. That being said I was unable to fully care for my garden or see any progress that has occurred. However, I still wanted to write to you all to let you know what was going on. Since were here, I do want to share a few things with you. The question was asked. . ."How would your garden be different if we were growing wild plants?" First we need to define wild plants. Wild plants are simply those that grow without much interference from human. Think of them as weeds, fungi, and flowers. Although many gardeners do not like to have these wild plants in their gardens they are very important. Wild plants contribute to nature's biodiversity, they serve as a source of food for many insects, animals, and birds. If we were to specifically grow wild plants, our gardens would be rather different. They would not require much fertilizer or water to grow, as they can grow in pretty much any environment. Wild plants would be a great items to grow for beginning gardens because just as succulents, they require little intervention and still grow very well. Check back next week for more updates as we bring this gardening experience to a close.

Peace, Love, & Veggies!
