Well said! I feel the same... when I can work in peace and quiet in my garden.. those are the moments that are so special to me! Case in point; I have a chipmunk that lived under my woodshed. This Munk has become very comfortable with me, to the point that if I am in his way in a row, he will practically run over my toes to get to his destination! I love this sort of interaction with the critters! He is very vocal, and lets me know where he is. A couple of years ago in my back yard, I had a pair of fawns walk up to me as I picked blue berries during a rest break. I will never forget that moment! It is Divine!

Welcome to KGI!
Thanks for posting the info on your book... I am sure there will be much interest. People are evolving the garden out of the square and into Art! Adding the Spirit is the natural next step. In my mind those components are already one... my art and spirit are so intertwined that I no longer bother to try to separate the two!
:)

Hi Kathryn This image is a screenshot from Google Earth. The only drawback with Google Earth is that you cannot zoom in as close as you would like. I have a greenhouse in the bottom right and a shed and covered compost bin at top right. A lot of t...

How times have changed. There was time when there was no food shortage and agriculture was not a profitable business. The poor farmer was having a hard time. After toiling in the field from dawn to dusk he failed to generate enough money to suppor...

Glenn!British allotment system is quite interesting. It should be initiated here in Pakistan. Is this alloted land close to your home? I mean you have to travel to your home kitchen garden to fetch your vegetables ??

I also recommend Seed Savers Exchange. Not only does Heritage Farm offer seeds they've grown, but you can become a member and exchange thousands of seeds with other gardeners. The beauty of seed savers is you can use heirloom seeds that you have g...

Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.
