I have a small backyard with an even smaller vegetable and herb garden. It doesn’t get a lot of sunlight, so I plant vegetables in little areas that receive more sun. I stuck 2 cherry tomato plants in the side yard in between a limelight hydrangea and a laurel bush. On the other side of the yard, I have a few cucumber plants growing in a cage. They are planted in between a quick fire hydrangea and sedum. Everyday, I am able to pick a few tomatoes and a cucumber. I love sharing the small excess with friends and my Mom. “Here Mom, I grew you a cucumber!”

Gardening and sharing the bounty is a wonderful way to elevate your spirits and stay grounded.

Love,

Mary
