One of the best things about Winter, is feeling reawakened when Spring finally arrives. Every year, I find myself yearning to visit our many wonderful nurseries and digging in the garden. While I seldom have the time and energy to play in our home garden as I would like, I've found that the more you know, the more you can maximize limited time and space. A couple of years ago, I discovered a wonderful local book by Jane Griffiths, titled "Jane's Delicious Garden" that teaches you how to grow a healthful, edible, organic South African-style garden. While very informative, it also proves to be entertaining with interesting background information on the various herbs and vegetables. Gardening is a wonderful way to get in touch with the Earth, soothes the soul, provides a great source of exercise, and is always relaxing. Just remember, before any intensive gardening, it's always a good idea to warm up and stretch just as you would before any major exercise routine. Also, be sure not to carry your cell phone with you. This book just shows us more ways that we can live and thrive with nature.
