It is certainly a challenging gardening farming season. Between the rain...wind...deer...raccoons.. one needs a deep and abiding faith to continue. It is really frustrating to go out and see that every single tomato and potato plant has been nibbled, and the apple tree that survived the worst winter in over 100 years has been chewed down to a thread. And there is absolutely nothing we can do about the deer, other than spend thousands of dollars on fencing or buy a very expensive disgusting smelling spray and touch every single plant in the place with it.
One of the things that gives back at least for my CSA is the bright smile on childrens faces when they pull their own carrots and radishes or find a strawberry among my weeds.
Once in a while someone takes the time to send a note... this goes a long way with me and here is one I got last week.
Thank you for gardening.

I have been enjoying a most wonderful salad, in a different combination every night.

so while the sweat is running down my face and I am weeding and replanting kale and tomatoes, I think of the happy faces and that I am doing hot yoga without paying for the class. Lots of downward dog and resistance work in gardening....
