Gardening is how I relax....

Cooking, reading, sewing, crafting, a little shopping....  I have many ways I love to relax, and do a little thinking over something.
I am reminded of something my brother told me a couple of years ago when I was going through a sad time.  He said that he was visiting with a sweet older lady in Humnoke, Arkansas near our old High School one day, and she told him that she planted all her troubles in her garden, and that is why it was so pretty.  Well, her flower were georgeous and abundant!  I love to do likewise, and plant my troubles in my garden.  I also like to plant happiness there, too.  It is hard to not be happy when planting sunflowers, or tomatoes :)

The Sugar Snap peas are doing very well this year!  They are so good covered with dew and eaten fresh straight from the garden - seconds after being picked!  (I have been fortunate and have not had to use any pest control on my peas).

It is hard to have any peas to bring in the house to share...but I managed to pick a few for dinner tonight.  They are delicious just barely cooked with a tad of butter and sea salt!

The potatoes that I planted on February 9th are up, and the tomatoes are doing well.  I had to replant some radishes yesterday since a little critter helped himself to some radish micro-greens.  The tomato on the left in the picture has 2 little tiny tomatoes already on it!

Carolina Jasmine is blooming like crazy along the road ways and pathways of our community.  It smells so delicious!  I wish I could find a perfume that smells exactaly like it!  You know spring is coming when the Carolina Jasmine is blooming!

I hope everyone has a lovely day where ever you are and relax a little by gardening, or at least looking at pictures of gardening on Pinterest (oh my! aren't some of the pictures on Pinterest georgeous and inspiring)!
