Frustration…
I’ve been too sick to garden since the end of March.
What do I have?
Children. No–I haven’t given birth recently, but they keep bringing germs home to me.
I have plants potted up and ready to be put in the ground. Ones from seed, ones from cuttings. I even had to put my sweet potato slips in pots!
On my desk are the seeds to plant in June. The April and May seeds have already been refiled and saved for next year.
My garden plans have been highly edited. There are vegetables that should have been harvested right now that were never planted. Annuals that are too little to survive the heat blast of the summer and are too late to be planted. 3 weeks ago I was over tonsillitis (or was it the sinus infection?) enough to drag my brawnier half out and point were I wanted things pulled out and tilled under. So the remains of the winter veggies are gone and the empty plots are waiting for me to be able to plant the seeds.
Hopefully this week.
