Today, I am grateful for patience!

It is one of the great gifts of life and one of the qualities that we strive for, but not always achieve! I believe it comes with maturity and not necessarily with age! I have watched my garden transform and change and without patience, I would have not been as successful with it! I have patiently watched the seeds take root and then inspect the first shoots. Some of the plants took ages to mature and without patience, I might have pulled them out and bought seedlings instead! That would have been tragic! I have beautiful Detroit Dark Red beetroot.
