this spring i am finding that the garden is allowing me to slow down just a bit more. although the tasks of the garden may seem trivial- planting, watering, weeding, harvesting, preparing- they are becoming a necessary part of unwinding at the end of a long day. with this in mind, i am celebrating the smallest moments of preparing a homegrown spring salad from our garden.
the harvesting of edible flowers
gathering of greens
washing the dirt from our radishes
admiring earth's bounty
adding some broccoli sprouts for crunch
& enjoying each bite
i hope you, too, will enjoy the slowness of the garden to table.
such simple pleasures. beautiful photos, natalie.
ReplyDeleteI too love that slowness of tending the garden - a chance to shift totally out of the busy demands of the day to day. Tending plants has such a depth to it, that goes beyond the particular activity of the moment.
ReplyDeleteyes, beautiful photos. and a beautiful sentiment as well.
ReplyDeletebeautiful, delicious, nutritious. all those good things.
ReplyDeleteI have just bought some flowers to pot up for adding to salads. Such a pretty and colourful addition.
