In just under a week we will
begin the arduous process of moving to another home. While this house, our
little Cupcake House, came with many an issue, it will be more than missed by
me.
In this home we became a
family and welcomed Jarvis into the world. He connects all of us in so many
ways. But, also in this home I became a gardener. Because of the mess of the
above-ground pool that the owners kept saying they would remove, yet did not,
as you can read about here and here, and here, and here, even here is you do not have a weak tummy. I became a gardener.
Dad was always taking over
ever back yard, in every house we lived in, with his garden plots, providing
the family with fresh organic crops. This time, it was my turn. My turn to
nourish the earth and in return it gave us produce that not only filled our
bellies, it was healthy, organic and it saved us money.
Because the coming days will
be filled with packing I think today was the last day I will get to enjoy the
feel of the dirt in my hands. I know we will be leaving my gardens in a week,
but I want to have once last dig, once last weeds and trim. One last chance to
forget stress. Once last chance to say goodbye to my gardens.
We are only moving about 10/15 minutes away, I wonder if the new owners would mind me popping over to tend to my garden and get produce for dinner?
I wish you could take it with you.
ReplyDeleteSo do I!!! Is there such a thing as a garden removalist?
DeleteIt is so sad that you can't pack it up and bring it along with you to the new place!
ReplyDeleteWhoever moves in is so lucky! I hope it inspires them to get their hands dirty and maintain the garden.
Dad and I joked about digging it up and putting it in the trailer and taking it with us. It is not my house, but I do hope it gets sold to someone who will love it and give the old girl a facelift.
DeleteMy that's hard to leave!!!!! x
ReplyDeleteEspecially at this time of the year when the garden is just about to produce the spring crop
DeleteWhat a shame, it all looks so lush and delicious. Wish youx could take it with you, too.x
ReplyDeleteI just hope someone gets to enjoy all of the food it is producing, seems like such a waste if someone does not eat it all
DeleteAre you going to be able to garden at your new place? Despite having to leave, just think of all the new adventures at your new place :)
ReplyDeleteYes! I can have a garden at the new place!! Starting all over again....
DeleteLooks like a lovely garden. What a score for the new residents.
ReplyDeleteI hope they love it as much as I have.
DeleteAhhhh that is so sad, what a perfect little garden to leave behind! I have really wanted to have my own vegetable patch too, but I also rent so although I thought about doing it at one point I decided it would just be too sad to leave it behind when we up and move. Hopefully you are able to start a new garden that is just as nice :)
ReplyDeleteEveryone told me I was crazy to build this garden in a rental. And those same people also loved accepting fresh food off me! Don't tell anyone, but I am already planning on my next garden in our new home.
