Part of the delight of my garden is that you just get lost in it before you’ve even started to do anything. I walk out to my backyard garden at certain times of the year and I can’t get 30 feet without stopping for 20 minutes because the goumis need trimming. And then I watch the wasps and notice that the lavender and the thyme right next to it need weeding. I love how my garden is very productive outside of the logic of productivity—it makes a lot of stuff that’s edible and nourishing and all that, but it’s also ‘productive’ in ways you wouldn’t think necessarily to measure.”
