Philly Farmgirl: a Jewish Mama's homestead in the city

Just a pinch of garden envy

Today I was out and saw the loveliest garden. It called to me in such a way that I had to come home and weed a bit. I have not had time or finances to make the garden as nice I would have liked to this year. It saddens me to have to admit this. Since I do not have land as such, my small bit of earth has been a real labor of love the past couple of years. I really enjoy getting in the dirt and planting. The smell of earth can be quite relaxing, a gentle reminder to reconnect. Fortunately I do have a nice amount of lavender growing.  I enjoy looking at other folks gardens, they inspire and comfort me. But still, I can't help but wish, just a little, that I could have worked on mine this year. Oh well, maybe I will plant lots of mums this fall.

Ah Gardens......

Well, if I could only have one thing growing......lavendar would be my first choice! I know what you mean about the smell of the earth. I'm enjoying your blogs these past couple of days. Nice to "meet" you.

Thanks (I think!) for revealing the true nature of red food colouring...how horrible! I'll certainly be thinking twice about certain foods now.

shalom... as a NY transplant to Montana... I know the pull of the land and nature. We're blessed to have a greenhouse here as well
