Sustains...

It is the twentieth day of December and there hasn't been one day yet, with a day off. It has been busy busy busy and I'm feeling the need to connect with nature and hug a tree! And if it wasn't so cold outside, I'd plant my feet in the grass and feel grounded. I haven't even been out in my backyard to check on my garlic that's growing. But things will slow down soon and I will reconnect once again to what sustains me ~ Mother Nature!

Seeds and Garlic...

I'm getting spring fever so today I'm going to plant some seeds. I already have garlic growing from when I planted it in the end of Oct-Nov. If you've never grown garlic you should try it. You don't need a garden, you could use a fair size pot of dirt and take the cloves ( don't even need to take the skin off) and put them, one clove at a time ( because each clove is a new plant - plant pointed side up) in the dirt. And in the spring you have garlic! Just know that you may want to plant more then you think. I use a lot of garlic and I thought "surely a dozen would be enough - nope." This year I planted twice as much and I'm not sure that will even be enough. But none the less I am excited about it. So easy ~ So yummy! Happy Planting...
