Since we are allowed to write about anything we want, I will write about my vegetable garden. I don’t know if that’s relevant to the class, but since our course theme is power and choices, I would think almost anything would be relevant to that…

   Well, this is my favourite time of year because I am hard at work in my garden. It is a lot of hard work, time, and dedication, but the pay-off makes the hours well worth it! I grow so many different things I hardly ever go to the market for anything other than meat! I grow Lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, onions, beets, beans, cucumbers, radishes, potatoes, and the list goes on and on. I also have two apple trees, but those aren’t much upkeep other than picking up fallen apples off the ground before the wasps get at them.

   After a long day of listening to people bitch about stuff and pretending to care, nothing soothes me more than getting home to work in my garden. It’s nice to do it alone, and it’s also something that my boyfriend and I love to do together. We have equal appreciation for vegetable gardening. The hobby was passed down to us from his grandpa who was an avid vegetable gardener, and taught us everything we know about it. The taste and nourishment of home-grown garden salads and steamed veggies everyday make me feel strong, happy, and healthy!

   I hate flower gardening, I make minimal efforts towards that…  They attract bee’s and I can’t eat them, flowers suck.
