Last years garden.

Boy oh boy! I’m glad the weekend is here because it means I can recharge my batteries... I swear that I’m solar powered though and it’s been sunny ☀️ alllllll day! So much so that I think I might have over done it today! A bit to much sun on the dome means I’m going to look pretty toasty on tomorrow’s #Seven77 video! Oh well! It can’t be helped... 😎

Today I decided to switch tracks completely... sometimes the best thing to do to catch a second wind is to do something completely different and temporary forget about all the other “stuff”.

So today I decided to do some digging in the dirt. I like to grow a garden every summer you see! It’s not really a very big garden but that’s not really the idea behind it! I’m not trying to feed an army or anything like that!

I think the point of doing this every summer is to raise my awareness about the food I am putting into my body on a daily basis. When I take the time to actually grow my food from the ground up (rather than buy it at the grocery store) it makes me A LOT more mindful about my food choices.

I’ve found that, not only does the garden increase the options for healthy food that I have at my disposal it also gets me actually thinking about making healthy dietary choices on a daily basis. It’s front of mind! Especially considering the food I grow in my garden each year TASTE SOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT I CAN GET AT THE STORE!

It’s so worth all the effort toiling in the sun! And as long as there isn’t to many weeds... I find working in my garden to be very meditative!

I’ll include some photos of last years garden in this post as an edit so check back tomorrow if that’s something you would like to see! 🙂

So! How about you?! Are you planting a garden this summer?

Great stepping 💪 and always a good idea to do some gardening. I use to grow some kale, garlic, onions and stuff like that too. But going to the office and the actifit walking takes up so much of my time 😱 I will probably resume it at some point
Wishing you an amazing Sunday ahead 🎉 Enjoy your activities 👍 😀

I know what you mean. I have noticed the effort your putting in every day around the @Actifit project Eric! It’s monumental to say the least! It must take up a lot of your waking hours to engage at the level you are engaging at!

Still... finding some quiet moments to plant a garden has, in my experience, been well worth the effort... and surprisingly... it takes far less time and effort to let the plants do what they automatically do as I first thought it would! That’s an #AutomaticWin if you ask me! Hahaha!

But yeah! I absolutely LOVE kale! I haven’t tried the garlic and onions yet but perhaps I should attempt those this time around... I’m always looking to boost my green intake so up until now I have focused mainly on growing leafy greens that can be juiced for a quick jump on the day. I’m also trying to get a micro green system going out and indoors so that I can have an abundance of healthy greens year around... I’m close and have plans to share this journey on my @NewPioneer blog! Yes! I have ANOTHER blog here on Steem! Hahaha! With this many Steem activities who has time for a garden right...?! I DO! 🤣

Anyways! Watch for my garden photos later today! I’ll be adding them to this post around lunch time! 😁
