Family circumstances this year have left me feeling a little frustrated with where our gardening is at. I've had my garlic and tree onions ready to be planted for a couple of months now, and even prepped the beds properly. I was hoping to get a bit of a jump on cooling soil temperatures. Now, it's Winter Solstice already and the garlic are still sitting there unlikely to be planted any time soon. As much as the Solstice is about a return to light and longer (colder!) days, for me it will also be about letting go and rolling with what life throws at us.

My garlic bed is not yet prepared; certainly the garlic is not planted. But there are always other opportunities at other times of the year to reacquaint with the joys of growing food. I give thanks regularly that we do have supermarkets.
I hope your family has more joy and reason for celebration soon.

Thanks, Sandra...I'm sure we will. Just minor, but distracting ill health atm.
