My beloved husband had the biggest green thumb I’ve ever seen! He could grow anything from seeds. He would save seeds from vegetables we ate and grow those!! I have never been an outdoorsy girl, mostly due to allergies to every living thing. So this year I have grown starter plants from seeds, in hopes that they will live. Also, I have weeded every square inch of our grounds. I found it very therapeutic. I did this weeding on the day of the 6 month mark of his passing. It comforted me, made me feel closer to him some how. ❤️

Well, I was excited to garden again, but recent developments, discovered on April 1, seem to be steering me in another move, a downsizing, and a bit of turmoil to ploughing through….. abit like breaking new ground. It is never easy, but I will be resilient……hopefully!

I used to love to garden. Then my sweet husband became I’ll again. He died in July 2016 so my gardens were severely neglected that year as we spent time doing all the other things we loved to do together. Last year I spent much of my time trying to figure out how to live this new life without him. I did manage to pull a few weeds and water a few times. This year my love of gardening is slowly blossoming again. I have also been thinking of canning jams again. The garden feeds my soul. So do your post Ginny. Thank you.

Try starting out with some growing lights and trays for your starter plants. Do you watch Life Up North on YouTube? It’s a family who have moved to Alaska. She has a garden in a greenhouse attached to her house. Another wonderful YouTube family is Fouch Family Off Grid or Fouchomatic. You will fall in love with them and their “little house.” Their youngest daughter Sadie is so stinkin’ cute! Before you know it you’re binge watching all of their old vlogs! The mother is Esther Emory who has done aTED Talk and written a book and she is the daughter of naturalist/homesteader Carla Emory.
