Without a doubt spring is around the corner. As I look towards spring I think about putting in a garden again this year. Until recently I never thought much about gardening being recreation. To me it's just flat out work. Tilling the soil, planting, and oh those awful weeds! Somehow all of that hard work fades into memory once the fruits and vegetable are ready to be harvested. Seems odd how even harvesting feels like work but it isn't too bad because the fruits of my labor are actually realized.
Gardening really is recreation! To be in a garden feels wonderful to many and also to me. So why do we usually just garden once a year? Gardening takes on many forms year around and can vary from the indoor flower pots to the big outdoor vegetable garden. Growing something can surely relieve stress and put perspective back into our lives.
As we head into spring you should think about gardening. It is a wonderful experience if you have never tried it. You don't need a big piece of land. Gardening can be as simple as just one pot with some type of flower, fruit, or vegetable growing in it. Enjoy this season!
