    Winter is here and the garden is growing! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Less is Meera (@lessismeera) In other news… I added to my Christmas village with this DIY A frame cabin putz house. Made out of a cardboard box + acrylic paint + cotton balls + Christmas ornaments + epsom salt (for the snow)…. all things we had in the house. And I love it!

    The world is heavy right now and it’s hard to even come up with things to say that people would care about. So for now, I’m investing in the garden and enjoying the mindfulness that comes along with the process of growing these finicky little plants. (And as always… links below.) View this post on Instagram Sharing a little bit from the garden every week! Take a moment of zen and watch me do some fall gardening. This week we're planting some spinach, broccoli, collards, and cabbage seedlings to supplement direct sowing. We're also broadcasting more carrot and lettuce seeds since there's been some shifting due to rain. Also, cooler…

    Here’s this week’s garden video! I’m currently doing a lot of experimenting with growing fall garden seedlings… I have lettuce, broccoli, kale. and spinach growing directly in the garden, under a grow light at home, and in plastic milk jugs on the patio. We’ll see what works the best. Our local garden center has some seedlings available as well… I might get some of those just in case everything else fails! Gardening truly is an exercise in patience.

    My tiny joy right now is vegetable gardening at the community garden. I’m learning so much and find the whole process a wonderfully restorative affair. In addition, over half the produce at the garden goes to the local food pantry while the rest is ours to keep and cook with. Wins all around. I’m planning on no frills recording my weekly adventures at the garden… so make sure to follow me on Instagram to watch a few minutes of gardening zen every week. We’re currently harvesting the last of the eggplants and waiting for broccoli/lettuce/carrot seedlings to sprout. *fingers crossed* We’re also in charge of the garden’s compost pile… so…
