Cukes as Anti-Depressants

So I was having a hard day coping with loss and thought I was destined to spend the whole day that way. I went out to the garden and just sat and looked and before long I was up and working and admiring the abundance and making plans for the next move and lo and behold, I came down off the ledge. I am sure there are a few more ledges out there but my arsenal for stepping down is getting bigger. Severe depression can be a real drag! LOL. Depression jokes; they never get old.

As always, click on any picture to enlarge.

My gorgeous flower garden. It is front and center of the whole veg garden.

I have beautiful parsley and I rarely use it. Still love it.

Corn - I have been eating fresh corn for the last two weeks.

A real onion! I had given up on my onions ever forming bulbs and here you go.

I actually looked at my cukes today and thought, "I am so proud of you!" I may have actually gone around the bend. They are healthy (the plants) and plentiful - more pickles to come.

Today Pasha announced that he *needs* to plant something in my garden. I thought, since he just started school again, that it was a school project of some sort. Nope. It is just time. I am giving him three squares and he has chosen broccoli, carrots and dill and cilantro.
