New Month, New Things To Do A pinch and a punch for the first of the month. I couldn’t have been more aware of the passing of time this winter. I feel like spring is closer than normal due to some commitments we have in August. So, I’m pretty much counting this winter as a two-month thing. Unfortunately, I have higher expectations for what I’d … Continue reading New Month, New Things To Do
Thoughts and Prayers Nothing bad has happened, but lately my routine has fallen out of sync with my intentions and the most the garden has received recently has been thoughts and prayers. My mind is rampant and full of ideas and improvement opportunities. My notebook is bulging with possibilities. I have lists upon lists. Some of the ideas are major projects that will take large … Continue reading Thoughts and Prayers
The giant list of things that need to be done. After yesterday’s declaration of good intentions >Yesterday’s post< I took a moment to write down everything I need to do. And now I see why I kept it in my head and just procrastinated as a coping mechanism… It is a tad daunting. But it is what it is, and is what I got myself … Continue reading The giant list of things that need to be done.
I knew it would be a big job, that’s why I’d been putting it off. I started half heartedly a week ago, just sorting the clutter that had built up on the benches and trying to find homes elsewhere for it. That is one of the reasons I pickled the shallots the other day as they were still in the dome from the summer and … Continue reading Dome Done
So, I’m making great progress with my To Do list. I’ve been ticking off things left, right and centre in the computer gardening department and we can firmly lay that at the feet of the rainy days we had this week. My weather station is telling me we had 18.6mm for the week and 16mm was from yesterday. So, there was no alternative but to … Continue reading A lesson in why you shouldn’t procrastinate
The weather has been exceptionally strange – it has felt more like Late Spring than Late Winter. The boffins are suggesting a bit of a seasonal reset will be happening soon and normal winter conditions will return. But they have been wrong before and I have yet to decide what is normal in this frostless place. I have been trying my best to get ahead … Continue reading Week 2 of the last month of winter
I have a dreadful problem with procrastination, especially if it is a task I don’t want to do, or I get the idea for something but decide it isn’t important enough to go at the top of the list. Then I end up with a list – or even a sub-list that contains a whole lot of things that would only take a jiffy to … Continue reading Some things just don’t belong on a list.
With a burning desire to actually build something I thought the new potting bench would be a quick fix to satisfy that need. There weren’t too many pieces – I could knock it off in no time. And I would have – had it not been cheap for a reason. It was all coming together nicely and efficiently right up until the last piece – … Continue reading I have assembled something!
It has been unseasonably warm and I found myself in a tee shirt – in the middle of winter! Mind you I was working pretty hard. Slightly panicked by the thought of July having almost passed us by in the blink of an eye, I seem to be looking at what is left on the list. However I really should stop and reflect on how … Continue reading How is it July is nearly over?
