Plot 1 Field-Side

‘A mind in the gym is not the same as a mind outdoors — bending, tending, being …’ — Mr P.

For the past 6 months I have been custodian of a plot on an allotment. And I have loved every minute of it — even the considerable watering :) It has been one of the most creative experiences of my life … so much discovery. And joy. It has also shown me, in the most natural way, the energy of ‘enjoying the fruits of our labour’. Our — because to grow food, we cannot do it ‘alone’. Life is necessarily interconnected.

My soul has shifted a little through growing my own food. It has settled and grown in confidence — as have I. It’s something I thoroughly recommend, even if only for a while or by helping another (and make sure they let you taste it :))

It is a true experience of life.
