Gardening My Worries Away

I do gardening when I can't find a way to deal with the mess, It is like with each weed I pull or piece of garbage I pull out of gardens, is like pulling the bad out of my life. it doesn't have to cost money, you can make do with the plants all around you, just take some old bricks and dig a little garden and put those old bricks or rocks around it, the neighbors might donate some hostas they are separating, dividing their own gardens, it feels so good to make something look pretty, I walk my dog and pick up the flying garbage on our street and I feel better and all my neighbors like the way our street looks. So that is how I get out of my funks and I have some really great gardens now. I have gotten to find out that plants are really quite tough and will grow anywhere if they are loved.

Thanks,
Eileen

Oh yes, writing about it helps too.
