8. So very true. It's so much work!

I enjoy starting my entire veggie garden (and annual flowers) from seed.

I love walking through my raised bed garden when the beds are crammed with food and flowers. It would be mighty difficult to feed myself and Dh, but I can offset the cost of groceries a bit. And there is nothing better than a home grown tomato.

Canning, freezing and dehydrating my harvests is hard work. But it’s nice to throw together dinner using some preserved produce from my yard.

And I recognize my privilege at owning a small plot of property that can support a garden and having the time to do all of the work involved. Worth every penny and minute for me.
