Sometime in early 2015, my sister, Amanda, and I had a
thought – we should write about our individual experiences about gardening and
combine it into a fun blog.
What can I say – she was in the middle of a big move, life happened
and the blog idea fell away.
And then we did something we had never done before, we met
in Georgia after Christmas for a “family” vacation. I knew our husbands were nervous about bring
us together in this manner. They were
sure that with the explosion of combined energy that they may get sucked into a
black hole. But thankfully, it was more
like a big solar flare that produce a widely seen (and beautiful) Aurora Borealis.
Our idea came back in full force! She was headed back to Florida where the
growing season was beginning anew and I was headed to Missouri to start
hibernating for the winter.
I realized that I wasn’t ready to hibernate (although temps
here are in the teens) I want to start my garden again. And so I am prepared to start germinating
herb and lettuce seeds.
She is “heating up” her straw bales and planting.
I buy my seeds from Menards – she gets them from people who are
naturalist.
I buy commercial planting aids – she discovers cute and
inexpensive ways to make planting aids.
I deal with snow – she deals with scorching heat.
I have a dog – she has three children.
I sleep in on Sundays – her faith is the basis of her life
Our approaches are different but in the end we want the same
things – a growing garden, patience to ensure a good harvest and a bottle of
wine to celebrate.
We welcome you to join our journey into the Harvest of Our
Lives and hope that you will find seeds of humor, knowledge and fun for your
own life.
