I’m going nuts about gardening, but probably not in the same way as most of your customers. I’ve had a big garden every year since I was 12, and for 2 years now I’ve been too sick to plant. I even have 5 acres waiting for me now!
Talked my dad into letting me start a container garden in this big ugly gravel patch that’s in front of the house. Even on a bad day I can crawl that far. And once in a while mom and I go out to the land and do something. Last weekend we planted some mint, and marked a few of the trees I’d planted just after buying the land, the were so short they get lost in the weeds.
I was hoping to have my house built and my garden and orchard set up by now, but this year I’m just trying to survive.
It stinks though, gardening is in my blood, and this year when it could count the most I can barely walk.
I know, Sweetie. I’ve had seasons like that, too. Either a sick kid, or my back was in terrible shape, or like now when I have to work full-time, etc.
Do what you can to keep yourself healthy and eventually things will fall back into line.
I REALLY miss my garden (I logged 98 hours last paycheck at work!) but Husband has everything ready for me to plant when I can. It’s going to be a late garden this year, but that’s OK, too. The plants are getting good care and nutrition in the greenhouse...just a few more days for them to wait.
I was going to work on it today, but it’s too wet. Grrrrr!
