Written in April 2020, during lockdown, while my second batch of chilli seedlings was coming up.
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a beginner, the mantra “Keep Calm and Carry On Gardening” encourages us to stay calm, focused, and connected to the earth. In these uncertain times, gardening offers a serene escape from the chaos of daily life. The act of tending to plants and watching them flourish can be incredibly therapeutic. Gardening not only provides a sense of accomplishment but also nurtures your mental well-being. It’s a gentle reminder to stay grounded and find peace in nature’s rhythms.
Back then I suggested getting the kids involved too. I have since written a much fuller guide: Keep Calm and Garden with Your Kids.
Earlier this season: Re-starting chilli season of 2020. Next: Progress report for 2nd batch of 2020 season.
