Unlike the other 2/3 of PurpleEggplant, I live in the country. Just outside of Ottawa, a 45 min drive to get to my Eggies. I grew up in the country where my own momma taught me lessons I didnt even know were lessons. Now so important to me, this slow realization that I already know ‘how to’ backyard garden and compost!
I really must tell you how very excited and inspired I am to get our new composter and garden growing. I feel a bit embarrassed about how excited I am but… truly I am excited! Its the little things that make you happy…right…
Last February we moved and last year we grew grass {boring} and got comfortable in our new neighbourhood. But this year, we I have been planning, planning, planning.
Over time I have come to realize the important lessons my mother taught me about food and growing it. A few years back I became aware that my own habit were unhealthy and actually my body was screamin’ at me to STOP! And so the journey had begun for a healthier me. I found Tosca Reno’s first book, The Eat Clean Diet and this helped me to get started. Have you heard of it? If not, check it out here. I am not where I want to be {in terms of my health and fitness} but I often remind myself that its a process and one day I will achieve it.
This new season has brought me a renewed sense of want for well being and a home made tumbling compost and garden are my first priority. I am eager to get my two kids Smiles and Sparkles as involved in this process as possible.
