A Witche's Garden



I dont really know when it all happened but a day came when I realized the importance of herbs and food, mainly of learning how to grow our own food. When I found out of Monsanto's master plan to control the worlds food production it freaked the hell out of me.

Our home, my mother's home that is, began to have a major transformation. In the early 2000's we cut down four  huge and beautiful shade trees, I felt terrible about it. However, they did not produce much other then shade, that too is useful but in the great scheme of things not more so then food. In their place we planted five fruit trees, a cherry tree, an apple tree, a plum tree, a apricot tree and a peach tree. We have added so many more, a mango tree, a avocado tree, a lemon tree, two guava trees, a orange tree, a tangerine tree and a pomegranate.
We have attempted an organic garden two years in a row with some success. Lots of herbs like lavender, peppermint, lemon grass, aloe vera, horse tail, vervain, ginger and lots of peppers. We have a raspberry bush, a chayote vine we had a passion flower vine but our pit peed on it until it killed it he did the same to out coconut twice. I cant emphasize how important it is to be self sufficient.

  1. I wish we had the land to do the same. Maybe one day! Maybe try bitter apple around the plants? Your pit will smell it and hopefully stay away.

  2. I knew a witch in Winnipeg who always planted a round circular garden, not a square or rectangular one. It was her way of honouring the Goddess.

    2. That is the dream, with stones and crystals. The pictures above is our potted garden in the back of my mothers home. We moved about 5 moths ago and most have died since then. I cant wait to have my own home. ;)
