Thank you for the report. I am short on ambition this year and I’m starting to wonder what the problem is. It’s been a productive year in the garden and everything is a little earlier and more robust.

LOL! U R welcome, tubebender!

I confess I’m a little short in the ambition dept this year as well. I look at it as I was initially approaching gardening as a sprint... and I’m glad I did, because I had a very steep learning curve to achieve! (And I STILL DO!! LOL!)

But this year, I decided to be more like a marathoner, and reserve some of my “kick” and take some baby steps and just be glad with a small garden and only a few new experiments, and the continuation of a few things that gave me pleasure in previous tries. Sometimes we need to pace ourselves so we don’t get burned out, if we have the luxury to do so.

I rejoice to hear that you were able to have a responsive garden this year! The garden sprites are rewarding you for your persistence and the application of the knowledge you have gained!

The weather here has been amazing also, and that has helped me to at least keep at it. If it had been as broiling hot as the past few summers, I might have scaled down even more!
