Lemon cucumber

#Garden box#clarity#life#calm My garden bed is a place of calm, peace, growing, gratitude. Sunflowers are growing up so tall beyond the 6-7' mark on the envelope. Couple years ago I had some grow up to 10' then squirrels flew in from several blocks away and took them out.

I think I can beat them this time because the real tall ones are on the opposite end of the trellis and secured with bracing and several rows of stringing across the whole trellis. Take that!

Patio garden #Garden #Grief #MajorDepressiveDisorder #Selfcare

Here is my little patio garden. I'm feeling deeply sad today. Every time I think I am starting to feel alive again I'm stopped in my tracks by limitations or a memory and sorrow washes over me.

Taking care of my plants helps me cope. Just a little water and sunshine, and they grow. I have herbs, tomatoes, lavender, greens I can't remember the name of, peppers, eggplant, geranium, petunias, dianthus, strawberries, and a lime tree.

At times when I can barely function, they begin to wilt from neglect. I notice this and realize I also need to do something to take care of myself. This is how plants take care of me.

What flowers should I plant in my garden?

I’m planting sunflowers and taking suggestions! I planting in the south suburbs of Chicago. What do you beautiful people think I should add to my flower garden? 🌻 💐 🌺 🌸 🌹

Today was day two or working on my garden. I started it last year and only managed to dig a hole 😂 Probs was hypomanic, not sure. Sometimes I try not to diagnose every single thing I feel. My treatment team suggested that I try my best to “ride the wave” (feel my feelings as they come) and not “pathologize” my every emotion. It helps because sometimes when I feel #happy or #sad I can just accept that, let myself feel, and try my best. I notice episodes when these feelings linger. Nevertheless, I am finding ways everyday to keep myself moving and give myself simple things to find joy in and keep myself occupied for at least another 30 days of quarantine.

#52SmallThings . I have enjoyed drives in the country, stopping to take in the beauty of nature around me. I have also started working 20 minutes a day on some flower beds. I used to be an avid hard-core gardener and outdoors lady—now I find joy in just doing things I love just a little less longer than I once could...but that’s okay. It makes my heart happy and fulfills my soul. I stay present and practice gratitude thoughts while pulling weeds and planting my garden.
