This venture that we have begun has so many possibilities, levels of accomplishment & impending rewards. It all started with a seed...a thought. It's amazing to see what happens to your dreams when you plant them, nurture them and share them with others.
I have always had a knack for turning something simple into a big production, and not everyone who has been cast in the production has been appreciative of that! (**insert evil laugh**) 2 years ago I reeled my parents into expanding their garden and adding one at my house as well. I LOVED waking up and heading outside to water and tend to the plants. The gardens were nothing elaborate...tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, zucchini, squash. I made salsa, cucumber relish, zucchini bread, chow-chow, more salsa! I switched from reading Cosmopolitan magazine to the Burpee Seed Catalog and then I realized that they had PURPLE pepper seeds, BLUE tomato plants, super adorable little 8-ball squash...Oh how FANCY!! The wheels started turning and my Fancy garden planning was in the works. I was online seed shopping and making list after list of **every.single.plant** I could think of!
The time soon arrived and the gardens were tilled and then...the tornado hit! LITERALLY! Fancy Garden 2014 was not happening! Heck, I didn't even get Normal Garden 2013 recreated! So sad :-(
But...here we are again. Spring is around the corner & I can almost hear the hum of the tiller!
I am so excited that seeds aren't the only things being planted this time.
New ideas and elements have been added to cultivation list. What goes with plants? Planters, soil, watering cans, wind chimes, wheel barrows, potting tables. TABLES??? Oh, let's add furniture!!! Harvest tables, end tables, rocking chairs, buffets, dressers? DRESSERS??? For clothes?? OOOHHH, let's add CLOTHES!!! Pretty, trendy, FANCY clothes!! See....it all goes together!!! Gardening and clothes :-) ( I can justify anything, just ask me!)
Whew, sometimes I wear myself out! What better way to relieve the pressure of planting a garden, painting furniture and picking out a boutique line than including others in the completion of your chores. When you share your dreams with others and you include their strengths into your plan the bounty is sure to be limitless!
We are gathering the "seeds"! Planning trips to market, ordering elements and finalizing important details. Our original location plan wasn't fruitful, so we are now in process of designing another equally amazing building in the heart of Baxter Springs. Stay tuned, you won't want to miss what pops up!!
