As the garden is winding down and the last of the harvest is in I started feeling a little disappointed. I had wanted to do more. We grew 30 pounds of potatoes, more tomatoes than last year, onions like crazy, tripple the garlic yet that wasn't enough. Why?
I think it's because when I think of what it means to be an urban farmer it means being more self sustained. Even though we expand every year. I look on the internet at all these other people nailing it and feel inferior. That's actually insanity.
Isn't this what we do in lots of other things? We want to workout but our friends are posting pics of themselves at the gym every day. We only made it once around the neighborhood. We want a tidier home but ours looks nothing like the unlived in magazine covers? Date nights, game nights, family time, vacations.....everyone else's always looks better.
STOP LOOKING AT EVERYONE ELSES LIFE AND NOT LIVING AND LOVING YOURS!
The first egg, green bean and tomato I got from my garden made me an urban farmer. The rest is icing on the cake. Today I am going to work on my next dream. If I don't out it out there tomorrow someone remind me of my words today.
Lots of Love
Mrs Ladybug
