Gardening my way out of the blues

One of the things I did during my recovery from this recent bout of depression was to get back to my garden and gardening which was left unattended when I was down and out. I really got on my knees, started digging into the soil, moving my plants around to create a new look for the garden.

In my garden, there are different types of plants interspersed with river stones collected from Ulu Langat river clearing many years ago. Some of my plants are about 10 years old.

At the same time, I started on vermiculture. Vermi what? Composting and worm farming. Working with soil and worms, I grew to enjoy handling these creatures some people would steer clear of. More about vermiculture in my next article.
