Vraiment

Vraiment is French/Francais for "truthfully" or "verily." "De veras" would be a Spanish equivalent.

Truly, sometimes I feel like the air outside is Fake. Or somehow.. generated.

I was outside just now walking my garden; my 14 foot tall Sunflowers silhouetted both by moon-light and the Sodium-arc Street Lamps. The warm, very warm air sprung up and blew past me a little before I walked back inside - stopping briefly to water my ever thirsty Pear Tree.

My garden is great. I'm trapped by suburbia and circumstance. The backyard is as landscaped as I can make it, limited by my abilities, scope and finances.

That being so, I maintain quite a diverse garden. In no particular order, I'm currently growing:

Wild Strawberry, Mammoth Sunflowers, Peas (finished), Marigold, Green Bell Pepper, Jalapenyo Pepper, Echinacea, 2 types of cucumber, Mini Pumpkin, Portulaca, Nasturtium, Eggplant/Aubergine. Various Spider Plants, a Blackberry, an un-named red Ivy, some sort of cactus, and 6 types of Tomato - my favorite is the Orange Grape, tastes like a berry..

I was, until very recently, also growing medicinal Cannabis both indoors and out. That is no longer a reality, as much as I desire it to be so. I do miss growing it; and I Have, in fact, decided to pursue Gardening as a career.

Through being a Contractor or Consultant; supplying patients with the manpower, the experience, the skills, to build, maintain and yield from their own medicine gardens. Outside or in. All "Green" techniques, all Organic nutrients - including Eco-friendly fungus/insecti-cides.

It could be lucrative, and it's what I like to do.

If it was worth all this (legal) trouble to begin growing it in the first place, and having continued to do so, then it stands to reason that it can be worth a lot more to me as a means of self-employ. Not to grow and sell it; any person with a green thumb can do that. I'm more interested in Grow Room Design & Set-up, Maintenance, and all-organic Pest Control / Cleaning, &c, &c.

Vraiment est-ce que c'est je voudrais cultiver !
