Not All Who Wander Are Lost

A free grocery store at my disposal in my balcony
Salad, small sweet fruits and aromatics hardly fail you in the edible garden, not even if you grow them on a balcony.
As a 2022 resolution, I set myself to grow edibles in my balcony garden. Not for the economy, because I don’t really think I will save, but for the fun, for the awe, for the feelings.
(In fact, when fruits ripen in my garden, they are also ripening all around, so they become cheap in the markets; for example, my strawberries are ripening right during these weeks, and I can get half a kg of them for the cost of a local bus ticket…)
However, I’m now finding that having an edible garden does have some advantages, even if overall the cost balance went against it (which anyway I think it doesn’t).
Well, because I have at my disposal whatever I want or need, right here, at hand, and very fresh.
For example, if I want a sweet snack, I just go to my strawberries and pick a few at their perfect stage of ripening. No uneaten fruits spoiling in the fridge.
Moreover, I delight myself not only with their flesh and taste but also with the contrast of their red against the green of their leaves and also with the (in this case, wild) flowers that grow around it:
Same if I suddenly decide to have some pasta with sage. I don’t need to go to that far store to buy it -which will anyway be already close by the time I need it. I just go out to my balcony and take a few leaves as I contemplate the new snapdragon and lavender flowers:

The curse of an empty society
It is pathetic and ironic. Our society has it bad and we don’t know how to fix it anymore. I don’t think we ever knew, or cared enough. I don’t know when it started but has been going on for years…
