On gardening, inspired by Carol's story

"When your garden works with your lifestyle, it becomes something you enjoy rather than something you have to keep up with."
I believe that this is true for everything from gardening to growing a business. When you create something that works with your lifestyle, then everything becomes easier.
I've been contemplating planting seeds to get a head start on a new garden this summer (2026). Reading Carol's story reminded me that I should wait until I am fully present to start those seeds.
This year, I am focusing on herbs and greens that I enjoy eating, and would also like to start growing Tobacco, as medicine, in container gardens.
Because the Metis elder I spoke to about growing Tobacco, taught me that this is a lifetime commitment, that I have to be able to move the medicine with me, when I eventually move from my current home to another.
Growing foods and medicine is one way that I can show my love for the beautiful reciprocal world that I live in.
Thank you for sharing Carol's HRBN story!
