No matter how much my life shifts, I suppose I will always be the woman who starts seeds in late winter. Even in the midst of deep uncertainty. In this episode, I’m sharing what starting over looks like in my new garden.

Hey friends, welcome back to the old-fashioned on-purpose podcast. So last episode was a lot.

0:10.7

And I have a lot more to share on just all the becoming and the human parts. But today, I want to

0:19.6

talk about something a little more joyful, a little more practical,

0:22.2

because like I explained last episode, it's a roller coaster. And they're sad and there's hard

0:26.8

and there's hopeful. And life keeps going. As with anything, life always keeps going. And so

0:31.9

today I want to share with you how I am starting over in a new garden space, which is something, you know,

0:39.6

I would have never imagined saying or I would have never imagined being in this situation

0:43.6

because I had been working on my other garden for over a decade. And it's been all over the

0:48.3

internet and people love the raised beds and I've seen the pictures on Pinterest more times than I

0:52.4

can count and you guys have seen all the pretty pictures and I've staged it and it's been in the cookbooks and it's been in all the

0:56.8

things. I have the pretty greenhouse that's become iconic and so I kind of thought that was

1:01.6

the spot for me and yeah, I never would imagine starting over. So I'm going to share more about

1:08.1

the house in general too because I can't wait to bring you along for the ride of making this new homestead my own. It's still in the same region as the original homestead. And it has land. It has a barn. It has a little old cottage. So it's lovely. It's different. It's so different, but it's lovely. And I want to tell you more about that.

1:27.8

But today we're talking about the garden because it's May and, or maybe it's June by the time

1:31.8

this hits. But anyway, you know, it's grown season is here. And so I wanted to share with you

1:36.2

what I'm doing in this space. So like I shared in the last episode, maybe it was crazy.

1:43.1

But I planted seeds before I knew what was coming next.

1:47.2

Christian I had been talking about separation and I didn't know yet what my house situation

1:52.1

would be. I was working on getting the house I got, but I didn't know if it would happen.

1:56.2

There was some, you know, lots of stuff to work through. And so I kind of planted the seeds in faith,

2:02.2

knowing that, you know, hopefully this would work out. I didn't know where they'd end up. I didn't

2:07.1
