Judgments I make about people who are non-gardeners...



They've never given zucchinis to their friends, neighbors, coworkers, and casual acquaintances and don't understand why you would.

They didn't watch The Victory Garden with Roger Swain on PBS as a kid.

They don't know the joys of getting a seed catalogue in the mail and dreaming about next year's garden while sitting by a winter fire.

They don't experience failure in their endeavors in quite the same way as a gardener does and therefore have never truly experienced failure.

They don't get excited when they see earthworms...or bees.

They think bunnies and squirrels are cute.

They don't understand the callous heart you must develop to be able to thin seedlings you've raised from seed. (It's serial killing and you must become a serial killer.)

They worry more about food security because they don't realize there's enough zucchini for us all.

They think seed-saving is something that happens at a fertility bank.

They think worm castings have to do with fishing.

They think pulling weeds is a chore instead of a meditation.

They don't understand the joys of running high quality compost through your fingers and just looking at it.

They aren't terrified by summer hail storms for the right reasons.

They've never watched gardening videos for hours on YouTube.

They've never eaten a good tomato.

They have never truly lived.

Planted lima beans and french green beans in rb2 after soaking seeds for three days. Worried that I soaked them too long, but didn't feel like planting yesterday. Transplanted baby leeks into rb1 Transplanted a bunch of lettuce plugs into the Easter baskets I found when we cleaned out the garage yesterday. Planted cucumber seed on the soon to be cordoned area (Longfellow, Little Potato, and Holland White.) Harvested radishes, baby spinach and chives for use in a lunchtime quinoa salad. Planted sunflowers along the edge of the corn patch. Added levels to my patio flower pots using the cinder blocks I found when we cleaned out the garage.

Soaking Lima Bean & French Green bean seeds (day 2) transplanted more lettuce plugs from the lettuce bowl into main raised beds first large Italian Flat leaf parsley sprout peeked its little neck out of the soil in a container rabbits are building a den under the bay window. pinwheels seems to be keeping them out of the raised beds...for now. Wish that I had researched more about mushroom compost before adding it to the soil in the tomato bed. Could have some chemical residue from mushroom production, hopefully not. Adding sheep and peat to the tomato and bean beds today to get them prepped for planting. Things that are ready to harvest today: radishes over-wintered Swiss Chard
