Intro to Raised Bed Gardens
Easy but Difficult Simple but Complicated… Isn’t that the truth?
Say for example, you decide to plant a vegetable garden. In a flash you can imagine preparing a delicious salad of fresh lettuce, herbs & tomatoes for your friends. You bask in the glow of their complements on a job well done. End of movie.
Looks easy, just prepare the soil, buy the seeds, plant, water & check it every day, right? Nothing happens for a long while, and then one day you miraculously see a tiny row of sprouts. Every day as they grow bigger, your mind completes the job in nanoseconds, and is on to plans for next year’s crop.
But wait…the DIFFICULT part.
Back on earth, life gets in the way, with many demands on your time. When you check the plants again they have withered and fallen over. Now you get to feel GUILTY. You FAILED again as such a simple job as growing tomatoes.
We all have unique seeds of greatness in us; how do we allow them to grow?
The thought process is very quick; walking the walk takes patience and perseverance.
The potential is still in the seed/idea, but are you going to take the next step and keep on watering, weeding, staking, pruning so it has the chance to become what it was intended to be?
Simple? Yes, but complicated too.
Coming up with a good idea is SIMPLE. Getting a project started and following through is lot more COMPLICATED.
I should know that, I have been trying to put this website together for so long but the avalanche of ideas out there is overwhelming. Also, it seems that a variation of the wheel is being invented over and over again so why bother?
What can one person do? Well, in fact, every one of us matters. When we share our ideas, we can achieve greater things than we ever thought possible. Determine to take the first step today, to make that difference.
Gardening in a Raised Bed Garden is the seed I suggest we plant as a first step to empowerment.
Over time I want to expand the scope of this branch of the website to include, green products, heritage seeds, composting, vermiculture, organic gardening, and on and on, but first lets begin with my discovery of Raised Bed Gardens.
