  • Horseradish leaves (cook them like collards), zucchini blossoms (will fry in a simple batter for a snack while cooking dinner), teeny handful is raspberries and 2 pints (!) mulberries. This only 1/100th of what’s on the tree. I can only reach a few branches (even when using a step stool). #accidentalgardener #citygirlcountryliving #injenniesgarden #horseradish #collards
  • Harvesting and hoping. It’s said you reap what you sow and oddly that makes more sense looking at life through a gardener’s lens. It’s about climate, fighting off pests tending to your soil, the right balance between light and water and even then all you can really do is hope because nature is predictably unpredictable. Turn whatever harvest you reap into sustenance, make the best of it. I have failed a lot at gardening. I have failed a lot at relationships. But there was this one time where I had a beautiful garden, and the harvest so bountiful so beautiful after 16 years of toiling. I’ve spent the last 9 years rebuilding my garden. Some hits, some deep misses but I’m still here. Still missing you, always. But... Still tending. Still hoping.
  • 25 years ago, after just a few months of dating, Michael took me to Cape Cod, and I’d never seen anything so beautiful in my life. I was 21, and up until then I’d only been away once to Florida. We didn’t grow up going on vacation. No summer camps, either. Most of the time my parents lived paycheck to paycheck. It’s been 10 years since we made the journey here together, his last time feeling the bay water on his feet and riding the sand dunes in Provincetown was August 2010. By the next summer he was gone. Time is a tricky friend, and mostly feels like a foe. Lately it’s been really hard to grasp having to live the rest of my days without him, without that security we created together. We had a really nice life. It wasn’t always perfect but we did all the work you’re supposed to do when you take those vows. We never gave up on each other, and truthfully even when I was done, he wasn’t and doubled down to do the work for both of us until I could find the strength and hope to believe we’d make it through. I read once, “I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with you, instead you spent the rest of yours with me.” Sometimes I find comfort in knowing that, but lately I just feel lost, wandering, trying to find something elusive. Watching a new day begin felt hopeful. It’s a start, I guess.
