Into the Garden: Vegetables

September 1, 2014 · 2 Comments

Into the Garden: Vegetables It was a rainy Sunday afternoon, one of the last of summer, and I couldn’t help but look out my window into the storm pouring onto my labor of work. I couldn’t help but think about how much my garden has gone through in just these few months of summer, and how much I enjoyed spending my time laboring over it. From a patch of soil, to rows of seedlings, to daily nibbles of cherry tomatoes and snippets of swiss chard. The zucchini has gone, and now the green peppers and tomatoes thrive, before all that remains is soil once again.
Into the GardenOne goal for this summer was to document my first attempt in growing a garden on my own, while strengthening my photography skills, and Martha Stewart living had the great idea of creating a photo book of photos from your garden. So I set out on a summer of gardening, and living sustainably after being inspired and motivated by Citizens Farmers from Daron “Farmer D” Joffe.Into the Garden: VegetablesInto the Garden: Vegetables Into the Garden: Vegetables “It seems so simple to plant a seed and grow food. That seed, however, is often a symbol of change. It grows not only food, but power, strength, connections, an outspoken voice, and the confidence that you will always be able to provide for your family.” – Daron “Farmer D” JoffeInto the Garden: Vegetables Into the Garden: Vegetables It’s quite interesting to see how much we become the person we’re meant to be as we grow older. I grew up on the farms during my childhood summers in Portugal, it was always a part of my life but it is now that I’m older, unable to spend months at a time there, that I appreciate that lifestyle. I grew up exposed to a variety of fresh food, and having a part in working with family digging up the potatoes, and walking alongside fig trees choosing the one with the plumpest fruit. I’m so lucky to have had and have that in my life, and it’s no surprise why gardening and farming has become a big passion of mine. Into the Garden: VegetablesNot only do I enjoy being outside, getting my hands dirty giving plants care and attention, and the sight of beautiful flowers but I want to keep my family tradition of farming going. I want to be able to sustain for myself and family, but of course the land we live on. This summer my reading consisted of organic gardening resources, and Third Plate, which has given me a greater knowledge and awareness of where the foods we eat come from. I’ve become greatly interested in learning as much that I can, because it makes me happy, curious, and fulfilled and it’s something I see as part of my future. Into the Garden: Vegetables Into the Garden: VegetablesInto the Garden: VegetablesNow as the days become cooler, I’ve gathered herbs to dry for spices and tea, and replanted favorites to have indoors. These months of gardening have taught me a lot, and have already inspired me for next year’s. Here are just a few photos of my garden… Into the Garden: Vegetables Into the Garden: VegetablesInto the Garden: Vegetables Into the Garden: Vegetables Into the Garden: Vegetables Into the Garden: Vegetables Into the Garden: Vegetables Into the Garden: Vegetables Into the Garden: Vegetables Into the Garden: Vegetables Into the Garden: Vegetables The leaves may turn, fall to the ground covered in snow for months, but then they return bringing life to the world once again.

Dreamery Headshot_2020

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

Woke up feeling a bit more hopeful & lighter after Woke up feeling a bit more hopeful & lighter after yesterday’s historic day. change won’t happen all at once, there is much to work on...
but for the first time in some time,
I know many are easing up those tense shoulders
& releasing a big deep breathe of relief...

it’s okay to feel good
about releasing all the energy
from the last four years,
we deserve to celebrate
letting go of that...but I do feel
this overall newfound sense of hope,
of inspiration, of drive, motivation,
one we haven’t felt in sometime,
a sigh of relief, that at least,
we’re taking the first steps 
to expand & better the days ahead for all🌾🧡✨
This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
