Ahhhh, where do I begin???

I’ve gotten a lot of people asking me if I am going to blog about all of my mini-agricultural experiments in my backyard and on my roof. I’ve been a bit apprehensive about it since there are approximately 12981092830128 blogs in existence that chronicle backyard farming. I need a slightly different angle. In this blog, you will find pictures and descriptions of my set up but more importantly, I’d like to touch on the therapeutic aspects of growing ones own food and finding the time to get out of your own head and get your hands dirty.

It’s meditation without contending too much with ones spirituality . I don’t know about you, but I spend enough time fretting over the tiny details of my life as I sit on the subway during my commute every day. I don’t enjoy the constant “thoughting”. It’s destructive and I feel myself missing out on the beauty of living when I spend too much time inside my mind. So this blog is dedicated to work. You let your mind rest on a job you love instead of on your burdens. You give into the work, and it nourishes you in return for your attention. It gives me a joy that I cannot explain in words, I just hope that people can see the change in me and that it inspires them to do the same.

Xo,
