Subject: Build a Garden


Each day in the garden is a blessing and we awaken each morning grateful for another day to live and grow on this beautiful planet.


Sure, there’s LOTS wrong in the world today. But there’s a lot of good and many good people too. In the garden life is simpler and beautiful so we focus on the things that are good and what we can do rather than on all the things wrong in the world that we can’t do anything about.


We don’t stand around and focus on the manure. Instead, we put on our boots and do the necessary while focusing on helping things grow.


What we focus on grows so we’re focusing on what we want to grow, the good and decent, and the many blessings daily.


For us, we’re heeding the advice in this favorite song by Willie Nelson’s son, Lukas Nelson. You may enjoy the song and lyrics, which you can find here on our site for creators:

Turn Off The News And Build A Garden.



STRAWBERRIES

We’re beginning to bring in some strawberries each day. They’re a spring delight for us because they start fruiting early enough before there’s too much shade from the fully leafed out trees for them to thrive.

IDEAS FOR STRAWBERRY PLANTERS

Our son, Nikolai made some rustic log planters for us for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day (last year). They look lovely in the yard and garden and work very well for strawberries and other plants.


We'd love to see and hear about your ideas for strawberry planters. You can send it via reply to this email. We'd be glad to publish them on GardensAll, (unless you request otherwise).

STRAWBERRY DESSERT

Speaking of strawberries… this strawberry pretzel dessert with cream cheese is a TREAT!!


DANDELION SALAD RECIPE

We’ve been enjoying these regularly this time of year. Tonight it included avocado and hazelnuts. Other times it’s toasted pine nuts and feta, and always with olive oil and balsamic dressing with roasted garlic. YUM! Delicious, nutritious and detoxifying.


Okay! All for now. We’re running behind today, but wanted to get this out to you and hope there may be something of value in it. Let us know... we're always open to feedback and hearing what you'd like more (or less) of.


We hope all is well for you. Spring is all our time to shine!

Wishing you health and vitality, from our garden to yours,
