Isn't it odd how difficult getting started can be ... And yet how easy a task is once we get started?
Garden is that way for me; I have to find a rhythm of activity. Because right now (and usually again in June and October), when I walk through them, I am overwhelmed with ideas and tasks — and despair.
Yep. Despair.
I realize I am past certain mile markers; such as March fast approaching and I have yet to accomplish the tasks I hoped to get to before now. (Another reason for no posting here ... Even writing about it feels like "too much" ...)
However, writing is the first step toward accomplishing my goals. And blogging seems to be a sure path to my gardening goals! ;-)
So, I am going to get started with posting this list of "first-to-do" in my gardens:
- Determine arrangement for raised bed plantings; sow during Spring Break.
- Clear leaves from west wall garden. (Mulch and collect for compost and bed-layering.)
- Complete bed-layering (newspaper, grass-leaf mix, sand, compost, pine bark mulch).
- Mark areas for bedding plants; determine plantings.
- Hoe clover and work into soil (an excellent, no-cost organic soil enrichment!).
