Gardening for Thought 🌱

Cleaning up my garden beds with frost on the way… but why bother when the growing season is almost over?

Because I’m not giving these weeds a head start on next spring! 😂 Pulling them now helps keep their roots from establishing over winter, and since I had 30 minutes to spare, I figured I’d give my spring self a little head start.

Sometimes, taking care of our gardens is a reminder to take care of ourselves, too. 🌿 We pull what no longer serves us, make room for new growth, and do a little work today that our future selves will thank us for.

And that brings me to my Gardening for Thought…

What if healing ourselves is one of the most powerful things we can do for the world around us? What if taking accountability, thinking critically, and choosing to help one another instead of living in blame and division is how we start making things better?

I’d love to know what you think. Do you agree with my thoughts on healing, personal responsibility, and growing a better world? 🌎

And tell me, are you doing a little fall garden cleanup before the frost, or are you letting everything wait until spring?

Heeeeeeelp me!! 👇🏼😂

I’ve had SO many people tell me, “That’s way too pretty to be called a ditch!” And honestly… I agree. 😂

But here’s my problem:
If I call it a stream, people report me to the DEC because they think I’m out here messing with a natural waterway. 😅

It’s an irrigation ditch. I didn’t create a waterway. I just laid the old fieldstone back along the sides and cleaned it up a bit. 🌿🪨

So what the heck should I call it?!

✨ Stone-lined drainage ditch?
✨ Garden waterway?
✨ Irrigation channel?
✨ Rock-lined runoff?
✨ Something way more creative?!

HELP ME NAME THIS THING. 😂👇 Drop your best suggestions in the comments because I’m officially tired of calling this beautiful little feature “the ditch.”
