| My 2016 garden in Victoria |
I miss my gardens
From my big backyard garden in Texas to my small container gardens in Victoria ~
merely seasonal supplements to sterile bright grocery store produce
but rooted, grounded in rich soil that gets under my fingernails,
swiped across my forehead
in the perspiring heat of summer ~
fresh vegetables that seldom
make it all the way to the table.
I miss my gardens!
“The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature.
To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body but the soul.”
~ Alfred Austin
