no worms for me

As I looked back on my 2010 garden, there were many projects that were abandoned, one of which was my gardening blog! I left off with a story of the slug and earwig night-hunts and by now, there has been a bunch of new adventures, one of which includes a GIANT tomato hornworm! *UGH….I just shivered and got goosebumps.*

This year, one of my resolutions (yes, you can have multiple New Year’s resolutions) is to write often and not worry about the structure, chronology, or season of my prose. Perfectionism is a dangerous thing because, for some people (like me), it prevents them from even starting on a particular project because they want so badly for it to be perfect from the start. As a wise Jedi-master once said, “Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try.”

So I will write more often, plant more often, and therefore learn often from my successes/mistakes. If you’ve been thinking about starting a garden, rearing chickens in your backyard, growing mushrooms, beekeeping, canning your own produce, and so on, DO!

Be on the lookout for more gardening stories from me!
