As I continued to pull up and remove the vegetable debris from the other containers, I was both sad and grateful at the same time. In the Spring, I can actually "feel" the energy these plants have and now as the season comes to an end, I could feel the let down...the lack of energy in them. I was grateful for all they have given me which I gladly shared with all my friends:-)
Growing things and especially propagating them is such a hopeful and joyful thing to do . Conifers of all types are my main interest...I have grown mugos from seed and arborvitae and, now, the fig and several other species. The biggest problem is I can not give them away...I just can not do it. So, I have had to cut down my efforts recently :-) ....Sometimes, I just think....what's another container to the sea of them I already have :-)
So, yesterday, I said to my wonderful garden, ....Good bye.....Thank You !.....See you next year :-)
