Happy Black History Month✊🏽

I look at life the same way I garden

🌱I grow organically, without pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizers, because no matter how much effort it takes, the quality and health matter more to me than the yield.

🌱I let it do its thing and just go support where needed. Yes, I could be more intentional, but I do what I have the capacity for at the moment.

🌱 Y’all might get me for this one, but I don’t mind sharing with the deer and squirrels to a certain degree. I’m here to share, we all live here, but there’s a limit to how much you’re gonna take before I set up barriers. I haven’t applied peppers as a deterrent in a while so the squirrels are getting bold again. I haven’t chased them away, but I’m taking note and will handle it when I’m ready. Always humanely though.

🌱I always do my best to pay attention to the specific needs of each individual plant to get the best results. They’re living things that I want to pour the same energy into me as I give., but even when the expectation isn’t met, assess whether to save or discard, but never just haphazardly. We feed one another, and even if I couldn’t eat you, you’ll be compost and seeds for the future.

🌱I live and let live in regards to predators as long as they keep to their own business and don’t bother myself or anything I’m in charge of protecting.

This post wasn’t about gardening. Water and tend to yours as you please, but this is what works for me😉

As this year winds down and we start planning for our spring garden, don’t forget to tend to the garden that is your life too. I love you 💛

A photo of Central Park during the Great Depression. 1933. At the height of the Great Depression, unemployment in New York City approached 25%.

This 1933 photo captures a rare and sobering view of Central Park during the Great Depression, where a sprawling “Hooverville” (a shantytown of makeshift homes) stood in stark contrast to the wealthy buildings just beyond.

Named after President Herbert Hoover, who was widely blamed for the economic collapse, Hoovervilles sprang up in cities across America as millions lost their jobs, homes, and savings.

This particular Hooverville was located in what is now the Great Lawn. Residents constructed shelters from scrap wood, metal, cardboard, and tar paper. There was no plumbing or heat, but a sense of community often emerged among the displaced.

Fun fact: Despite the city’s reputation for progress and prosperity, by 1933, over 25% of New York’s population was unemployed, and Central Park, the jewel of Manhattan, became a symbol of survival
