Wow, I love all of your responses. And Bunkie your poem was great. For me, gardening is about life. I won't go into my life story but 5 years ago I was given the opportunity to start my life basically from scratch you might say. Gardening was an integral part of that and now it is not just about what it does for me, but how I can use it for others. I love that! I love to try growing new things and while some are unsuccessful, many are not. I just have to get creative sometimes. I really like that challenge. In the last 5 years our yard and veggie gardens have become a sanctuary to me and I feel truly blessed by that. And discovering Garden Stew has been awesome.
