Garden of Thought

I've been seriously contemplating whether to submit something to GreenPrints ("the Weeders Digest")... I just love them, it's the only paid magazine-like subscription I have and worth every penny, published as a small family business. It's a collection of NOT "how to garden" or "gardening tips" (the world and the web are both awash in those) it is instead a collection of gardening from the heart. The WHY of gardening, the love and the dedication and sheer passion that makes people slave just to watch a tiny bud unfold and mourn deeply when aphids eat it before it can bloom. It's a magazine for people who have a love of green things and, like Sam, would rather have a bit of earth than almost any other gift. Shall I be published? I have no idea, but I have so enjoyed reading of other people's stories and adventures and reminisces in the care of their plants, I think I should at least give it a try.

The question now is where do I start? I haven't any notion of how to winnow something tangible out of the great jumbled experience of watching and tending all the teeming green life that has passed before my hands, but I just want to share it.
