Portfolio > Hope Is a Garden

When your garden has layers of plants growing on top of each other, finding dinner becomes a treasure hunt. There are dispiriting moments when you can’t locate what you’re looking for (in this case a ripe tomato), and then a delightful discovery that makes the whole ordeal seem worth it a hundred times over. I no longer get much joy from grocery shopping, preferring the uncertainty of a loop around the garden and the impossibility of meal planning more than a day in advance.
