To grow a garden is to inhabit a different economics. I’ll never tire of Deanna’s squeals of glee as she finds new abundance each day: a zucchini that seems to have emerged overnight; an eggplant that is just beginning its vegetal life; a cherry tomato vine laden with fruit. In Deanna’s daily walk around the garden, in a mode of grateful reception, she models virtues for our children: a hopeful expectancy, a grateful diligence, and a tangible gratitude.
