Putting your fingers in the dirt produces serotonin, and eating things I grow myself makes me feel less guilty about my carbon footprint. it’s exercise, meditation, prayer and therapy all in one.
Being able to grow your own food for free is just the craziest concept. I also have some doomsday prepper DNA in me and gardening satisfies that need for self-sufficiency lmao. My girlfriend’s mom told me recently that plants have survival instincts too, so when you grow your own fruits and vegetables, they try to adapt to what you like so you’re less likely to get rid of them. So also that’s why food you grow yourself tastes so much better.
I love gardening it’s so lit.I don’t think gardening itself is relaxing, just because you sweat a lot and it’s hard.but watching everything come together and growing is.You don’t always have to plant stuff it’s also a lot of fun to just organize it.I Want to start growing cucumber and tomatoes.
I think people with plants are happier than the rest of us. Grow something to eat and combine it with a cooking or baking hobby! Baking is good because you have to share it with people unless you can eat a whole cake by yourself before it gets stale.
I love this -- it sounds good in Spanish ("cuidate") too.
Maybe it's just age, but I've become fond of telling people to "be good."
It's intentionally vague -- it could just be a grammatically poor version of "be well"
Or it could be a suggestion to behave yourself (ish).
It doesn't explain itself and that's my favorite part.
It might be the most middle-aged thing I’ve ever done, but I joined a dragon boat paddling team with a bunch of teachers and I’m obsessed. The boats look like carousel animals! So many magical things about paddling in sync with 30 other people, being out on the water, seeing eagles and blue herons, plus a core workout as good as the Pilates reformer. It’s the freaking best!
