There is no majuscule joy , no sweeter triumph , than standing over a saucily weeded garden bed .
I feel like a champion . No — an creative person . Every tug , every Yankee , every obstinate root dispatch was a throw of grandeur on the canvas of my garden .
The transformation is uplift . What was once a chaotic mess of bindweed , dandelions , and who - knows - what - else is now a pristine expanse of plentiful , friable grime . My plants are in the end barren , their stems unencumbered , their theme unchallenged . It ’s like I ’ve given them a resort hotel solar day and a personal pep talk , all rolled into one .
perchance I ’ll even mulch it . That ’ll show those weeds .
And the satisfaction ! Oh , the sheer delight of rip out a particularly gnarly weed with roots that go on forever . It ’s like pull Excalibur from the rock . The physicality of it , the instant satisfaction of seeing the foeman vanquished — it ’s much therapeutic .
Forget yoga ; give me a hoe and a garden seam full of weeds , and I ’ll find intimate peace in no time .
Then there ’s the smell of the grunge , that earthy , sporting scent that reminds me why I started garden in the first place . And let ’s not overlook the pride . I want to parade every visitor straight to my dope - loose masterpiece . “ Look ! ” I ’ll say , gesturing dramatically . “ See this ? I did this . This is my magnum opus . ”
Sure , my back might suffer a little , and my nail might be caked with dirt despite the gloves . But it ’s all worth it . Because mighty now , this garden bottom is utter . My plants count glad . I finger happy . And for a abbreviated , fleeting instant , I ’ve won the eternal war against chaos .
Take that , weeds . My garden bottom is now a fortress of looker and order .
clock time for a cupful of tea leaf .
