I have rejoined the living and I am currently gearing up for a 10 day trip to the north of Morocco for, you guessed it, ANOTHER presentation and a chance to see more of this beautiful country. We started a little balcony garden for lettuces and basil and it is another reminder of how magical and precious plants can be. It feels so painstaking to get these little guys to thrive. I think of the times we let a sack of lettuce greens go bad in the refrigerator...how could we be so careless with something that took so much time to grow! That is one of the biggest lessons about growing your own food...you see first hand the time and care that it takes and you can appreciate produce in a different way. Below, the little seedlings are reaching for light.
