RE: Gratitude leads to happiness - Day 16
Yay for bountiful harvests! Especially when there's enough you're like "hello neighbours would you like some eggs/lemons/other fruits/etc" because you have too much. I think giving away the excess was one of my favourite things (though to be honest I don't do a lot in the garden unless my partner needs assistance from another adult, it's more his thing).
My partner grew some peas in the aquaponics partly so we could use them in the kitchen and mostly so the kids had something to grab and snack on while they were playing outside. They ate a lot of peas and tomatoes XD Be prepared for her not being that hungry at dinner time if you spend a lot of time outside and there's stuff growing ;D
That's one of the things I'm looking forward to with moving, we've shut down the vege patches and aquaponics as we don't know when we're going to be moving (also the gum tree decided to drop a really big branch onto our main vege patch which has destroyed it) and it would be nice to set up at the other end (and also get out of this bloody limbo, I hate limbo! XD).
Yes! I completely agree. I was so pleased going over to my neighbour (she is seriously one of the most sweetest ladies out there) and giving her a huge bag of nectarines and apples. It was so much fun.
Your place (your current one) sounds like it has the setup that I want! A shame about the gum tree destruction though. Hope you can get all setup at your new place (whenever that might be).
I love the thought of her having access to so much fresh, good food. Last season she would pull off a piece of fruit (tomato/nectarine/apple) and would take a few bites, then pass it off to me. So she's got the idea about the food. Will be interesting to see if she likes it this season (if we're still here).
Getting set up won't be a problem. I'm just having issues right now because we're kind of in limbo and there's vew few things I hate more than limbo and being in transit (which are about the same thing as far as I'm concerned though at least there's a predictable end point for transit!)
