Today I want share a little about patience.

Patience is a virtue we should all strive for. Being patient makes life so much more enjoyable. I had to wait 2 months for an incredibly nutrient dense tomato. Talk about the opposite of instant gratification. Not only do I have to wait over 2 months but I had to prepare the ground, I had to plant the seed. I had to take care of the plant that germinated from that seed and wait until nature said “here you go, enjoy the fruits of your labor.”

In a world of instant gratification the garden is one of the best places to fight back and learn to enjoy life as a journey where not everything is available right now at the click of a button.

If you want to teach this important attribute to your kids or just need a refresher plant a seed and care for it. If it is for your kids, start with radishes so they see in 3 weeks how their efforts payed off.

What does the garden teach you? I would love to know. #grownostr #gardening #growagarden #patience #patienceasavirtue
