My beautiful babies, Marc and Charlotte! You can sort of see the garden in the background... sort of.
You can plan, and you can hope, but planning and hoping won’t always make things happen.
My plan was to plant seeds on Tuesday. I got pretty busy between my two jobs, so this didn’t happen. Then it rained. However, it didn’t just rain. It was also very cold outside.
I consider below 60 degrees to be cold.
There was a brief moment Friday evening where our family was playing out in the backyard. Marc was doing cartwheels, Mitch was playing the guitar, and Charlotte was… well, Charlotte’s a baby. She was probably pooping. I almost went inside to get the seeds, but rolling around in the grass with my kid seemed like more fun. This also was sort of a blessing, because the chill we had this weekend could have killed my little plants. I considered just going ahead and starting them inside, but we’re going to have some warm weather in the next few days so I think I’ll just hold off.
What is the lesson we’ve learned from this week of no gardening? Sometimes things are more important than gardening, like hanging out with the fam.
If I get a chance to stick some seeds in the ground between now and next Sunday, I’ll do a mid-week update.
