I think it is. I hope it is. I’m tired of composting expensive dead plants. And that’s what we’re talking about today: the planting season.
Last year I planted some grapes and the vines are busting out all over. I’m not sure but I think I should get some production off them this year. Homemade wine is in my future, and I’ll be sure to share the experience.
I’ve also got various berries coming up so that should be fun.
If you like to grow your own pumpkins, you should get them in the ground now!!!
I plan to plant an elderberry bush in a few weeks. Elderberry tea is what Hershel used to cure the sick in The Walking Dead. Too bad elderberries don’t cure decapitation, right? But anyway, it’s got medicinal properties and helps fight off sickness. Good stuff.
I’ve made many dishes, including Christmas dinner using herbs and spices grown in my garden. We also used Everclear to make Lavender and Rosemary tinctures. The Bride made some really cool bath bombs and scented them with the tinctures.
Gardening is badass and it gives you a chance to get your hands deep into the cool moist earth. You get to see bugs and snakes and stuff. Then you can make stuff with the things you grow. I recommend a garden or at least an herb bed to anyone and everyone. It’s very rewarding, and you never know when you might come across a skeleton or something.
