https://s7.postimg.cc/vbvrx1vff/IMG_7252.jpg ## It's more than just a place to grow food, it's a place to be. ---- Many of you have probably seen some of my efforts so far on building a garden. If so, you may have noticed that this isn't just a 20 X 30 section of soil with a fence around it. Sure, I've had ones like that before, but this time, I'm building something *more.* http://i.imgur.com/uVNBbyL.jpg ## A PLACE TO BE - MY GARDEN PHILOSOPHY VLOG ## https://youtu.be/m2ecbk0F97A In this video, I explain that the garden is more of a homestead feature rather than just a place to grow food. It's a place for a lot more than just plants, and I intend to build it that way. Many animals also live in the garden, plus, my family and friends will spend time there too. https://media.giphy.com/media/Ca8pjpflYKh3klc0B6/giphy.gif Whether it is [gardening after dark](https://steemit.com/gardening/@papa-pepper/gardening-after-sunset-planting-malabar-spinach-for-the-first-time) like last night or gardening in the rain like today, the garden can be an enjoyable place around the clock. I love the interaction with my food before I get to eat it too, and that requires time in the garden as well. https://s7.postimg.cc/6vdm2r2gb/IMG_7259.jpg I'm building a garden that will hopefully last for years to come, and it's taking a lot of work and effort. With winding paths and beds going different directions, it's also a place to slow down, relax, and wander. I can't wait to see it green up and the season continues.
