Motivation
I haven't been out in the garden in almost a month.
That is to say, I've been physically present in the garden almost every day this month, but only as long as it took to de-beetle the roses, pick a few beans, ooh and aaah at the tomatoes and then run back inside. And I've been blaming my lack of attentions on a lot of things: mosquitoes (our state bird), "it's too hot", "it's too cold", "I don't have the time", "I went to the state fair and ate my body weight in carbs and have slipped into a diabetic coma"
But they were all just excuses. The garden's gone wild with marigolds and tomato bushes, beans breaking their poles and lettuce gone to seed (deliberately). Time to get out there...
Any second now...
Okay I'm going.
