Great article as usual Bill! I used to love my vegetable garden, but no longer have the ability to plant or maintain it. However I am doing flowers, shrubs, and an occasional vine. You're right about the energy exchange between gardeners and their plants. Favorite line: Creativity will flow through you like a wild river!.
Ditto!! My gardening years are numbered, so I am returning my back yard to nature. Lots of grasses and clover this year, but it’s really pretty and my birds are happier. I will add more wild flowers next year like chicory and queen Annes Lace. Thanks,Bill for so beautifully expressing our place in the natural world!
I really loved this post. I often think of cultivating and respecting diversity in the garden. I love the idea of growing things as a form of resistance. It was also a good reminder for me to invite my teenagers into the magic with me.

It’s good to have a plan, but you’ll always be able to do some amount of gardening. Just slower! (And no more heavy stuff.)
You have a fabulous yard!
