Back in The Back Back

I get real grim in the winter, doomy-gloomy-fatalistic.  I need to be in my garden. So, these last weeks and weeks of rain with no sign of sun to come have had me in a bad place.  Finally, I found myself in The Back, Back Yard this weekend.

Most of Saturday was spent pulling up a sea of flowering clover and I only managed to clear the vegetable beds.  The shade and succulent gardens have yet to be cleansed.

Yesterday I planted 7 tomato plants, basil and a bunch of different vegetable seeds.  Today I will put only flower seeds in one of the beds and hope for good cuttings in the future.

I wish I could just be myopic when I'm out there.  But, I can't help but look at the big picture and see all that needs to be done and all that I wish I could afford to do!  At least I'm no longer looking through the window and wishing for a just a little sun!

  1. Hey, Ginny, I'm glad your doldrums are being addressed in the garden... it totally works for me the same way... I love the controlled helter-skelter of your bed edgers, then the shutter like skyline arrangement against the back fence. Nice work!
