Its so funny because the maturity period for most of my plants is 60-75 days, which means they'll start producing fruit right as I'm leaving to go to India for a month. Which totally sucks. Although, I'm not really sure I was even doing the garden for that reason...it felt good to be doing it, it felt right to be doing it. Our crazy lives have us running every which way and we never stop and take time to reconnect to the earth. Maybe it sounds stupid and new agey to you...but I really believe that it's important to do that.
On to my travel news! Mariah and I purchased our tickets to India...so its actually official now...no backing out. I feel much less anxiety about it than I thought I would actually...but this is just one of those things in my life that I KNOW I'm supposed to do. Shortly after we bought the tickets I mailed in all my info to apply for a 6-Month Tourist visa to India. You absolutely cannot get into the country without having applied or one in the States. And today I got my passport back from them with the visa sticker inside...YAY! I'm really attached to my passport for some reason, so I was nervous sending it in the mail...so I"m just glad it got back safe and sound. Mariah and I have solidified our plans for the first two weeks of our trip. We've decided to stay at an ashram in Rishikesh, India for two weeks to learn yoga and observe the religious culture of the area. We will sleep at the ashram, where they feed you three meals a day and have two yoga classes a day. Accomodations, food and yoga...all included...all for only $10US a day. !!!! Can you believe that? As for the second half of our trip we have absolutely no plans whatsoever.
Okay, done. Here's the garden pics! The first is the start of day one and the last is the end of day 2!
That is so cool. I am very excited for you about India.. it's something I would love to do some day.
