Things have slowed down in the garden. There’s still some activity, but mostly it’s time to hibernate.
The main reason I started this blog was to record what happens month to month- so next year I can look back and recognize the cycles- both mine and nature’s.
Here’s a feeling I recognize- I’m ready to be done. It’s gorgeous this afternoon, but mostly I’ve avoided going out. I’m happy to let things fade away- and the thriving plants are actually a little annoying. (C’mon little tomatoes, your time is past!)
It’s clear that I am a fair weather tender. I wouldn’t do well if I had to do this day in and day out indefinitely. The joy of gardening fades with the nice weather. I’d rather stay inside and work on art.
