We cleaned out our little garden the other day in preparation for winter. It's funny. It's not an impressive garden -- so much smaller that what we have back home.
And yet, there's much to be said for a small garden. It took us only a couple of hours to get everything done. And we get lots of enjoyment from our small collection of plants, with our (also quite small) patio and dining table nearby.
It has made us realize that bigger isn't always better, and in fact, can often times be quite the opposite. Too much work, too much time, too much money to take care of it. This is true for the garden, the house, the yard, the autos, etc, etc.
Simpler pleasures. More time to enjoy them. We love our little garden, and I expect we will take home many lessons from our experiences in this smaller space.
