The Gardening Benefits of Being Busy

It was definitely harder this year to plant and maintain a garden 

as I was studying to write two exams. 

Not to mention having to manoeuvre around my large belly.

I did it though :) 

The best part about gardening this year is that 

because I'm super busy...

every time I go into my garden there are tons of

fruit and veggies ready to be harvested.

Most of the previous years I would go out into the garden multiple times a week

and stare at the produce...

and harvest most of it before it was ready.

I discovered that when you let gooseberries actually ripen, 

they are delicious!

I thought I didn't like them, 

but it was probably because I was picking them before they were actually ripe.

New things my garden teaches me every year :)

The best part of growing multiple varieties of blueberries is that

when you grab a handful you are delighted by the different mouthful of 

flavour every time. 

In this harvest I had Peach Sorbet, Pink Lemonade, and a boat load of the normal kinds.

Boy, oh, boy were these delicious!

This is actually my second harvest of blueberries. 

The first was right after TheLittleBear came home.

Those blueberries sat around for three days 

as I tried to find time to take a picture.

In the end...

I gave into their deliciousness and dug in before I could picture it for you all.

I dream that next year I'll be better at this whole multitasking caring for a little bear 

and gardening business.
