The Circle of Life
I’m slowly realising that life is full of cycles, and that my passions, interests and discipline moves in those cycles as well.
Often I think the reason I move from the ‘up’ part of the cycle (where I’m really committed to something), to the ‘down’ part of the cycle (where is put on the backburner for a while), is because I go too hard, too fast (kind of like what I was talking about here, but in another application…).
One of my renewed focus’ of late has been gardening/permaculture/herbs, coupled with natruopathy/healthy living/eating natural food etc. I am wanting to introduce/re-introduce a few things, including sprucing up the garden.
I had grand plans I had for the garden. Eggplants, Capsicum, Broccoli, Carrots- the lot! I think that this may have been my downfall last time. I didn’t spend time researching the best place to put these vegetables (sun wise), I didn’t have time to water them (and didn’t know how often they each needed watering) etc. So this time around I have decided to keep things smaller. To keep things more manageable.
I had a bit of a plan (it didn’t actually end up like that!) for how I will plant up these things:
Basil
Parsley
Tomatos
Rosemary
and some ground cover (low maintancence) herbs also.
Garden Plan
Obviously I am just trying to focus on these herbs, and not have too many different things growing. I’ve done some research on basil particularly, and am looking forward to researching some of the medicinal qualities it possesses.
I hope that as these herbs devleop, and I get into the the habit of looking after them, that I will plant some more… Any ideas what else I should plant?
Thanks for visiting my site again! keep checking back for more updates!
