I need a place to walk and grow . . . my vegetables.
Can you help me?
I lack the skills to create my vision . . . my sanctuary . . . my family’s nourishment . . .
Things are growing in my greenhouse . . .
But I don’t know where to put them. And I loathe the idea of a row garden. I’ve been square foot gardening for several years now.
The big picture is this: a respite – a haven for vegetables and beneficial insects – a garden for flowers . . . a quiet place that feels like the Lord’s sanctuary . . . not identical to the first garden . . . but close to such a place would be ideal.
{insert sheepish grin}
So how do I create gardening space? Paths? With what material?
My model . . . the gardens I love . . . are Slow Foods gardens . . . filled with circles of romaine, arches of carrots, trellised gourds, tomatoes, and pumpkins all surrounded by sweet smelling herbs and enticing butterfly attracting flowers . . .
I don’t know how to create this space . . . the design . . . the layout . . . without having 16 squares repeated over and over again.
I have my chance of a new design, using the principles of square foot gardening . . . minus the cost.
But I don’t know how to make it reality. The box of dirt is ready. The plants and seeds are ready. But I am not.
Can you help me?
