I like the idea of learning how to do and make things myself - the feeling of self-sufficiency and satisfaction with the final product.
I think that’s why I enjoy gardening. I love it when I make a salad from all my own produce. I actually think it’s easier and probably even cheaper to go buy it in the store! But I don’t have that level of satisfaction taking things out of a plastic bag.
Right now my lettuce has still been surviving the nighttime cold temperatures. I love fall gardening, less bugs!
Wait, you’re on West Coast time aren’t you? You are up early!
