Not quite true for us...................

 

.........................the critters beat us to them:

We ate our first tomato and cucumber from the garden today. The garden is a good one this year but I made the mistake of planting too closely.

...................Kurt shows the way:

gardening...............

     The human mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild.  But whether cultivated or neglected, it must and will bring forth.  If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed-seeds will fall, accumulate, and will reproduce their own kind.

     Just as the gardener cultivates the plot, keeping it free from weeds and cultivating the flowers and fruits which are required, so may we tend the garden of our mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless, and impure thoughts and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of right, useful, and pure thoughts.

manage.......................

 

That orientation is a spirit; a process or pattern that inhabits us, piques our interest, directs our intention, and motivates our action.  What do we want to happen there, in our gardens, if and when we get it right?  We may be incapable of tending the whole world, but we can manage our own small private natural spaces, and that is far from nothing.
