You are SO motivated these days, LOL! I’m so sick of dragging the hose around I could scream!
But, “as God is my witness...I’ll never be hungry again!” ;)
So here are the secret(s) to my “motivation” ... don’t laugh too hard!
#1 - have someone (my niece, who gardens) say they are visiting to see your ‘beautiful’ garden & can’t wait to see it. Projects due to impending visit (today, actually):
- log holder for fire pit
- shelf rehab/repurpose to organize garden ‘stuff’
#2 - buy really nice plants you do not have room for OR where they can go is a mess and needs cleaning up. Projects resulting:
- herb bed expansion with new raised bed (2 lavenders & purchased this morning, to keep the lavenders company of course: an echinacea, sweet basil, & marigolds
- weed horribly overgrown hollyhock bed (where the heck did all that ‘grassy stuff’ come from?). Project resulting:
- clean bed with baby Hollyhocks AND a home for a brand new “Pink Panther” foxglove (bought it this morning)
#3 - NOT RECOMMENDED: break your kneecap into 2 separate pieces & have surgery/be in a brace during prime spring planting growing season ... have your garden totally go crazy during this time (weeds, weeds & more weeds of the worst sort), have no vegetables except some late planted tomatoes & a few zinnias (once the brace was off & PT over - June/July). Be SO traumatized by the experience that “as God is my witness...I’ll never have a messy garden again!” :-)
