By “help” I only mean: Would you like to share in some squash or tomatoes or kale or spinach or beets or carrots or okra or beans or cucumbers or onions or chard or lettuce or parsnips or broccolini (I know I’m leaving something out)?
We have plenty! Our cup runneth over! The nature spirits have been hard at work in our garden, so what you see here, spread out on my kitchen island, is just a sampling of the harvest we are blessed with every day or two.
Amazing!
I remember when we planted the garden. Actually, when we “conceived” of the garden. It was nothing more than a big square plot with weed barrier covered with chippings. I knew I wanted to turn it into a vegetable and flower garden, but how? It was SO infinitely boring and plain and barren and arid.
I did a little meditating about it and talked to the devas on my land, and the nature spirits, and in the blink of an eye they showed me that the garden should be a spiral. Wow! This seemed incredibly creative to me, but I was also kind of surprised because it was the easiest pattern to create out of what already existed. All we had to do was cut out the weed barrier in the spiral to be planted, raking the chippings into the pathway inbetween! Genius!
And so we did. And enhanced the soil in the planting spiral as well. And planted seeds and seedlings in full faith, even though a bit late in the season.
I walked the spiral, chanting a few mantras of thanks for the guidance of the other kingdoms, and strategically setting down rocks and crystals as I was guided to do so.
The nature spirits have danced! They have held hands with the devas and brought into fruition a bounty we never expected! They love the spiral and they love our daily meanderings in their midst. Harvesting each morning is like a great adventure — some zucchini have weighed in at over 4 lbs (more than my Chihuahua)!
I think the secret ingredient of this blessed abundance is that we co-created this garden with the complete cooperation and guidance of the nature spirits and devas that are essential for bringing everything living into manifestation. We humans would be fatuously deluded (and often are) to believe that we alone can make anything we want happen and that there are not energies or higher powers that help make it so.
Thank you, dear spirits, for helping make our garden SO, SO, SO, beautiful and abundant. Our own spirits and health are all the better for it.
