Some of my favorite childhood memories are about helping my grandfather in his garden. I observed his patience and his respect for the land. He was a garden aficionado. He had honed his skills as a form of heritage and he forged it into gritted determination through the windblown era of The Great Depression. He knew it was inexplicitly linked to survival and he had reverence for its abundant harvest. He shared his harvest as a baker would share his bread.
Home gardens have sustained in popularity but did you know that during The Great Depression the government encouraged home gardening? As time has progressed, home gardening has become specialized. For example, gardening styles range from organic; herb; Feng Shui; upside-down; window box; kitchen; patio, etc. The wonders of the summer garden’s simplicity are generated from seed, soil and sunshine but the true harvest is the sharing of sustenance.
Humbly set this table keeping its silver straight.
May plentiful bounty be ample but never be ingrate.
Surround me with exchange breaking the bread made from home-grown grains.
Risen from once sown fields –
May our conversation be the harvest yield. Kelly McBride Loft ©
