Gardening is one of the things that really seems to help my mental health. There's something about growing your own food that can really give a sense of accomplishment. It also helps to significantly improve my diet. From spring to fall, I eat so much better when the vegetables are around.

Right now I've started come cold tolerant plants: radishes, spinach, arugula, and peas. They're only sprouts now, but I should have an early crop. I'll also soon be starting some seedlings inside for a later planting.

I only have a small yard, but I've maximized it to get as many different things as I can. I think even a small garden, even just one plant, might make a difference for others as well. Grabbing a handful of cherry tomatoes before and after work helps put me in a much better mood.
