meaningful plants

“The first gardens for example were not created to be work or even to produce food. They were experiments in making. Love affairs with certain meaningful plants such as hemp or grapes or tobacco.”

It is difficult to work in my garden. No, impossible.

But I do have a love affair with certain meaningful plants.

Currently:

• Sage
• Golden Moon Maple
• Lady’s Mantle
• Monarda – readying to bloom
• nice greens coming up in the “kitchen garden”
