Heres the Story of My Clear-cut Garden
Last summer 2015 they clearcut (or what they may call selective cut) a forest on the edge of my property. It was sad to see all the destruction. Meantime, I have been craving an edible garden of my own, yet have not been able to find a sunny enough spot in my forest home. Soooo … I decided to collect water all winter 2015-16 and give it a try up at the clearcut.
Carry Water – isn’t that a Zen Koan?
I carry water, forest soil and forest mulch to my garden almost daily to build up some good soil and attempt a garden in the forest clearcut. Its making me fit and strong and giving me joy to watch my garden grow. So far I have:
- squash for 2 kinds of seeds I saved from what we ate
- tomatoes also from seeds I dried myself
- Kale
- Arugula
- Mini yellow and orange Peppers from seeds I saved
- lettuce
Clear Cut Garden after no watering for 12 days
Here’s my kale before and after 12 days without water while I was gone on a spiritual retreat in August. I just piled up lots of forest mulch leaves before I left. They are so healthy looking.
