365 Days in the Garden
A Short Piece About Quick Results
Thoughts on how visualization shapes reality

A few days ago, I wrote about planting bulbs and not letting the idea that it’s too late stop you in life.
In that piece, I said:
In a few weeks, I will be able to buy small pots full of hyacinths ready to be forced indoors or popped into the ground to bloom in a month or less.
Today, five days later, I went to get my bike and spotted the above display at the flower shop near the repair shop.
Did I bring them into my life sooner because I wrote about them and imagined them? Or did I see them sooner because the visualization opened my eyes?
The correct answer to the above questions is “both/and.”
During 2023 I plan to write daily about gardening and other topics full of life and joy. Here is a link to posts I’ve written in the past year about gardening.
I am a grandmother of two delightful children and have been gardening organically for over 50 years. I’m on a mission to live a healthy, joyful life, and I write about it on Medium. If you don’t already have a membership subscription to Medium, please consider using my referral link when you join.
