How Does Your Garden Grow?

Really, the only thing I’ve purpose of growing food, but more accomplished is putting in a new flower often it seems to be done for the sheer garden.

And every day when I’m showering off the dirt and sweat, I tell myself that I should have spent the time working on something more productive.

This isn’t entirely unplanned. We bought this house in part because of the multiple existing flowerbeds and potential for putting in more of them. This first year was supposed to be a “see what’s already growing here” one, after which we would decide what to do next year.

But shortly after the virus started to change our lives, I found myself tearing out the huge bank of juniper bushes in front of the house. Then I took down the sloppily-laid stone retaining wall along the west side of the house and began waging war against the army of wisteria and Digging away at roots until sweat stung my eyes and dwarf Alberta spruce trees planted there.

When I finally started putting things in citizens who refuse to take precautions instead of just taking them out, I felt even for everyone’s safety, or the unforgivable better. I decided to create spaces for stupidity of the people who should be the local wildlife, so I focused on finding leading instead of lying. But we can put plants that pollinators love.

When, one afternoon a few days from having one of the lowest rates later, I went out and discovered bees of infection in the state to being the

leader in new infections and labelled the “hot spot” of COVID-19 activity. Almost overnight, months of work trying to contain the spread was wiped out, largely due to the irresponsible behavior of a small group of people.

Hearing the news, I felt defeated. So much time wasted. So many people who will now get sick, some who will die. And still the people who are largely responsible for this pandemic dragging on and on and on are the same ones screaming about not wanting to do the things we all need to do to try and get it under control.

After learning that our county had soared past Red Alert Level 3 for a public health emergency and was racing headlong towards Level 4, I went into the backyard to water the plants. Everything felt so useless—the months of isolation, the worrying about staying safe, the determination to not give in to despair. Why do any of it if other people were going to undo everything anyway? And why bother tending to a bunch of flowers?

As I was standing there, a hummingbird flew up to one of the butterfly bushes. It hovered there, inspecting the dark-purple flowers. Then I noticed that the hydrangea next to it had its first bloom, a delicate pink spray rising above the leaves. Amidst all of the bad news, here was something good, something promising, something that suggested things might get better if I just keep going.

I finished watering and went inside. Sitting down, I opened the file for one of the books I’ve been neglecting and wrote a few words. They didn’t come easily, but they came. We’ll see what they grow into. ▼

And ourselves? To date, there’s no evidence anyone has contracted coronavirus from food. The risks derive from other diners, not food. Packing our own food is good; so too is takeout. Shopping at the grocery for a meal works—many are large enough to avoid extended, close contact with other shoppers. Wherever we’ve foraged for food, eating outdoors is best. Picnic, anyone?

Yearning for a dine-in restaurant meal? Choose one where masks are required, and try to sit outdoors. If outdoors isn’t an option, sit as far away from other people as possible. Avoid lingering over the meal: it’s all about limiting time spent in enclosed spaces with other people.

Accommodations: What about overnight stays? Try an RV. It’s a large vehicle—we can spread ourselves out. It offers a kitchenette for meal prep. We can sleep in it, avoiding hotel rooms. It has a self-contained bathroom.

If an RV is out, camp in a tent or cabin, keeping ourselves largely outdoors. Just be mindful of those public restrooms and shower houses, observing usual precautions.

Staying with friends or family? Special considerations may apply. Is anyone in either household high-risk? If so, we may want to consider staying elsewhere. If opting for a hotel, call before reserving a room to see what safe practices it’s implemented and plan to supplement those with our own safe practices. Avoid tight common spaces—e.g., elevators or crowded lobbies.

Eager to answer the call of the open road (or friendly skies)? It can be done— admittedly, at heightened risk. But with planning, preparation, and mindful practices we can mitigate the risks. Happy trails! ▼
