The joy of gardening
gardening cool-weather greens, as gardeners across the north-east of America is now doing, can seem nonsensical. Convenient, perpetually well-stocked supermarket shelves are available all week. But the same could be said of cooking: cheap and decent restaurants abound, so why bother to make your own meals?
As gardeners in the northeastern United States are doing now, it seems absurd to grow cold-resistant vegetables. Vegetables are available all week in a convenient and always well-stocked supermarket shelf. But the same applies to cooking: cheap and decent restaurants abound, so why bother cooking for yourself?
That attitude misconstrues the ultimate appeal of gardening: it mistakes the product for the purpose. It is true that a garden can yield peas that taste like the vibrant, green essence of spring; tomatoes and carrots of incomparable sweetness; And potatoes with the richness of earth itself.
This attitude misunderstands the ultimate charm of gardening: it mistakenly takes the output as the purpose. Indeed, full of green peas, extremely sweet tomatoes and carrots, and potatoes that are crisp and delicious like biscuits and smell of earth can be grown in the garden.
On the other hand, a garden, especially in the early years, can also yield little but frustration. Novice gardeners may plant the wrong crops for their soil. Squirrels have an infuriating habit of taking single bites of cucumbers, beans and tomatoes, Then leaving the rest on the wine to rot. and even expert gardeners can lose a season's harvest to unco-operative weather.
But on the other hand, the vegetable garden may also fail to harvest, which only makes people feel frustrated, especially in the early days. A novice gardener may plant crops that are not suitable for his soil. Squirrels have an annoying habit of taking only one bite of cucumbers, beans and tomatoes, and then leaving the rest on the vine to rot. Even professional gardeners may lose a season's harvest because of uncoordinated weather.
no matter. The real joy of gardening is the time spent doing it. The deepest pleasure-as with cooking, writing, bringing up children or almost anything worthy-is in the work itself.
It doesn't matter. The real pleasure of gardening lies in taking the time to do it. The deepest joy lies in what you do-just like cooking, writing, raising children or almost anything of value.
A gardener's memories revolve not around the food produced, but around long summer afternoons with hands in the dirt, surrounded by family, If the garden is at home, or deeping acquisitions with friends and neighbors in an alloy or community garden.
A gardener will not always think about the food he grows in his mind. If the garden is at home, ta people will think about working in the land with their hands and being surrounded by their families in the long summer afternoon. Or in a small piece of land or community garden, get to know each other and deepen friendship with friends and neighbors.
to garden is to patiently, lovingly and deeply help life blossom, in the ground and above it.
Gardening is to help life flourish patiently, lovingly and diligently, whether on the ground or on the ground.
