I look at it this way. Gardening is my relaxation. I try to be perfect with everything I put in the soil. I do not spray any of my crops with pesticides. For my medicine crops I use Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom. I also use those for my tomatoes. I am out there in my garden every single day attending to beans, carrots, corn, peas, tomatoes, cukes, broccoli(fail), strawberries and of course, my babies, hidden behind the corn.
I am a gardener. I love to have the earth under my nails and spend hours under the sun perfecting my techniques for maximum quality and yields. I apply those techniques to my cannabis plants. They are provided an incredible environment with soil naturally rich from limestone from Lake Michigan. Wisconsin is some of the best earth on the planet. That is not just hyperbole. That is fact.
Wisconsinites are a special bunch. We all know someone who farms. I spent summers on my uncles farm. We love to grow, and our short seasons makes us adapt and do some amazing things. It is a culture here.
My daughter wakes up just after dawn. I grab her and she says in her 20 month old voice, "garda" and points to the backyard. And we go look at the crops each morning, just her and I.
So that is why I garden outdoors. And why, for 7 months of the year, I jones to be back out there doing it for the little blessed time I get to. And soon, my daughter will have dirt under her nails with me. Not my son, he hates anything thats not baseball!!
