How We Did it Mortgage Free by Weeding the Garden
Untended garden beds grow more weeds than food. They grow wild, like thoughts in our minds, and can overwhelm us. When weeds fill the bed, grab a handful and pull. When thoughts fill the head, grab a handful of weeds and pull. The one activity improves the garden and your perspective on life. Working garden beds gave us time to think about what we wanted from life. Our first beds were behind our suburban dream home in Sparks, NV. Odds were that we would still have a mortgage if we stayed there till we died. Our first harvest overwhelmed our tiny pantry and spilled onto the dinner table every night. The quality of nutrition and taste helped change our minds about what we wanted. As we learned to discern between helpful plants and weeds, we learned how to choose a piece of land to homestead. By the time the garden was spent for the year, we had begun driving across northern Nevada weekly, looking at potential sites. The new land led to much larger beds, more weeds to pull, and clearer thinking. Now living mortgage free in Kentucky, we see in hindsight that pulling weeds clears beds and minds.
