A Positive Attitude – You Can Grow That!

smiles in the garden

“It seems like gardeners are never happy,” my husband commented a number of years ago, “Either it’s too hot or it’s too cold, too much rain or not enough. I thought gardening was supposed to be fun.”

Now I knew he wasn’t talking about gardeners in general, he only knows one.
He meant me.

And it struck me funny because I always thought I was a glass half full kind of person. Something had changed, and I decided right then to change it back.

When I went out to the garden I noticed how serious it looked.
There were no whirligigs, no gnomes, no smiles. So I began to add them.

Okay, I will admit, the gnomes got out of hand.

One thing I did was to make the planter shown above, affectionately known as The Pot Head.

So this year I will not complain about the fact that it was our second worst growing season ever.

Instead, I will enjoy our best pear crop of all time, fry the green tomatoes, and smile when I see the celery transplanted in The Pot Head and brought indoors to continue its growth.

And you know what?
When you do that with gardening, it infuses the rest of your life as well.

You really can grow a better way of living life.

And if you look at it the right way, you’ll see it in every seed packet.
