3. I think the only time I will feel caught up is when I am taking the "dirt nap"

i.e. dead and tucked into the ground. A gardener’s to do list is never done. But to me that is one of the joys of gardening. I have had to train myself to stop, pour a glass of something cold and tasty, go sit in my wisteria arbor swing, and enjoy the work I have accomplished.

My MO is to just tackle one thing, complete it, then move to the next, whatever that may be. My yard with it’s flower beds and raised bed veggie beds is extensive. And it is only me (a retired old lady 🤣 doing the work. Yesterday I planted a bed of sugar snap peas. Today I want to set out some lettuce and kale transplants which have been growing in my basement. And if I’m really efficient get the fence built around the peas so the critters won’t eat everything. I try not to think about all the stuff that I want (need) to get done and just focus on and enjoy the task at hand.

Love to see all of your hosts. I bet they are beautiful.
