There's something in keeping a garden that is really exhilarating. It's amazing what can happen overnight in a garden. The two year old apple tree is building fruit. The raspberry transplants leaf out. Your brassica bed in which you started all of the seedlings is full and lush and harvestable. The peas begin to blossom. And the herb bed fills out.
These are the joys around my garden, in my life. They are rich and full and lush. It's noticing a bud begin to blossom on a perennial transplant from yesterday to today. Or the quince stems you began propagating over a month ago sending out little buds and beginnings of leaves. It's doing little beside providing fertile ground, water when it's dry and wishing, watching and hoping.
Even amongst the cucumber beetles and red ants, it's the feeling of sweet, sweet success!
