Fruit and Veggie Gardening
I believed that I was a bad gardener, that I had a "black thumb" and everything I touched would die. Not sure where that came from, I think I just never really tried or had the idea that I should. Anyway, it turns out that gardening is a refuge for me. I love all of it...flowers, trees, veggies. Bonus when it works and we get to eat something that came out of our little slice of land here!
