Mike’s Random Garden Thoughts

Sometimes you just need to take a break. In the midst of the daily grind - w**ding, watering, planting, harvesting - it's A-Ok to lie down and take a well deserved nap.

Granted, napping face-down in the mulch might not be the best choice. That tends to get people excited. But all is okay. My gnome buddy is well rested and back on duty.

And who knows, I may try napping in the mulch one day. It looks reasonably soft and comfortable. Just be sure to poke me with a stick to make sure I'm napping.😉

It's going to be another good day in the garden.

Mike’s Random Garden Thought

This weekend I had an epiphany. It was less painful than a brain fart, but more insightful than a casual thought. I realized I better get busy collecting plant cuttings and seedlings before Mother Nature sneaks up on me and kills everything with a freeze.
Granted, the first freeze is likely a month or more away, but I know myself well. I typically wait until the last minute, then run around like a crazy man trying to salvage whatever I can. Not this year. Nope. I'm on top of things like a cheap suit on a used car salesman.
And yes, I'm giving myself a congratulatory pat on the back for my foresight. Of course, I also managed to scorch the potatoes cooking on the stovetop because I forgot about them while I was harvesting cuttings. Apparently, I can only concentrate on one thing at a time. Go figure.
Yep, it's going to be another good day in the garden.
