As Oprah said on Earth Day, there is nothing more satisfying then going into your garden and pulling up the vegetables you grew. I might not have exactly how she said it, but I do have the fun of growing organic tomatoes, lettuces, peas, beans, chilies, basil, eggplant, arugula, and more.
Pick them from your garden, put them in your basket, share and munch. My neighbor and her two boys, five and seven, picked some lettuce today and loved the smell of basil. They asked me, “where is the tomato?” I showed them the flower on the plant that will turn into a tomato and the picture of the tomato growing that is on the seed package that marks the tomato plant. They are coming back for more and that is exactly what I wanted …share and teach.
So let’s start a list here of what you are growing in your garden. If you have recipes of what you cook from your basket of real food, add that for us to try.
Growing my own vegetables has been a top freedom and joy in being an empty nester.
I am looking forward to having this ongoing list of growing your own food all year round. So mark your calendar to check in here on the blog and get updated with healthy eating. I am on TWITTER and LINKED IN if you want to meet there as well. I love building communities.
So email me natalie@emptynestsupport.com
What are you growing and planning on growing for summer? We can share resources and tips. I will put them together for everyone and post them on this blog as I receive them.
You can post here under comments or post for free on the active message board anytime and join questions and conversations with other parents.
Change requires inspiration and support so email me natalie@emptynestsupport.com or post on this website, whatever is easiest for you.
Happy Health and Satisfaction,
