Mulch + Compost: Nourishing My Garden and My Soul

How Gardening Helped Me Find My New Identity

Autumn harvest season has always felt like my personal New Year. Other seasons don’t imbue me with the spark that I get when Fall is on its way.

I’m not a Fall lover to the extent of getting overly excited about throwing on cozy oversized sweaters with leggings and a pumpkin spice latte in tow. I traded all of that for year-round sunshine. Though, I have been tempted to place some kind of gourd arrangement in my front yard.

For gardeners, Fall is a time to amend what’s weak or needing reinforcement and to remove what no longer serves in preparation for future growth. I already sowed the seeds of the crops I plan to harvest this Fall, and now my focus is on preparing for the first frost.
