On sultry days...my alyssum and stock intoxicate




the passersby of my tiny messy garden.
I see them walking, and they turn their head towards the wafting sweet scent...
Are they thinking "Did I just smell something sweet?"

Maybe they notice a tiny messy garden on their mission to get from one place to another.
I hope so.
I hope it sticks in the back of their mind as they go about their day.
Maybe it's a spark of a reason to be a bit more grateful, to straighten their back, to make a good choice and live well.

I've just put some nasturtium seeds in a can with water to soak overnight. And tomorrow I'll pull the weeds, and poke small holes and put the very plump seeds in my secret garden.
In a month and a half from now, there will trailing pepper-tasting leaves and sweet orange and gold and yellow nasturtium flowers for the passersby.
