🌿 STILL GROWING THROUGH NOVEMBER! 🌶🍅🥔
As I walked my garden this morning with Basil (yes, the Basil Benjamin 🐾), I couldn’t help but smile at what’s still holding on. My jalapeños, bell peppers, and green tomatoes are out here saying, “We ain’t done yet, sis!” 🌶💚🍅 Meanwhile, the garlic, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are loving this cool breeze like it’s spa day for roots. 🧄🥔🍃 They’ve tucked themselves in the soil real snug — doing the quiet work before harvest.
And my basil herbs? Still standing tall, proud, and fragrant — a little defiant in this November air. 😏 But the newsman says the cold is coming… so we might have to say our goodbyes soon.
Here’s the thing: every season teaches us something. 🌱
👉🏽 Summer’s leftover beauty reminds me that even when things look “done,” there’s still life in what seems old. There’s still growth, still purpose, still flavor left to give.
💡 Lesson for the day: Don’t rush your own harvest. What looks messy might still be miraculous. What looks done might still be developing.
🎙 This is Shiba Shiba the Green Thumb Diva reminding you: there is no culture without agriculture. Plant the seed, tend the soil, and let the garden remind you how to grow in every season — even the in-between ones.
✨Go outside and check on something you planted — in your garden or in your spirit. You might be surprised by what’s still growing. 💚
