Nurseries and Sunshine

[greenstorm]

It was good to be out today, haunting the nurseries with the Juggler. Got heather to finish the rose bed, got tomato seeds. Looked into a hydroponics store. Basil planted, tomatoes planted, more peppers planted. It's nice to be able to do this with the Juggler's lights indoors. It'll be nice to get set up with some hydroponics greens over the winter when the garden outside's done producing for the summer.

Good to be home tonight; it was a long day and I'm tired. The guiding at VanDusen is going to be both fun and challenging. Work's work, busy and keeping me on my toes once in awhile. People are people, unpredictable, sometimes wonderful and sometimes just complicated. I had a really complicated spell for a few days back there, so I'm glad they're back to just being nice. :)

Got the fig repotted and cuttings taken -- twelve potential fig trees rooting in various ways, isn't that fun? The peas are coming up in the garden outside. I'm starting to get my stuff from the balcony into the ground.

I think that's about it for now. Take care, and enjoy any sunshine that comes your way for me.

Cool. I can live vicariously through you then. Keep telling us about your gardening exploits. I love to hear it. I would love to do what you do, but just don't have the self-motivation (or have a gardening enthusiast someone at my side to foster my gardening enthusiasm) to do it right now. Haunting the nurseries, repotting, planting seeds to go into a garden that will produce lovely food for you during the summer, nurturing life. . . then soon, getting the garden ready for the planting, and haunting the nurseries some more, looking for cool things to plant. Man, i would love that. I wish i had a partner who was into that sort of thing in a big way. I need a kick in the butt to actually do it. *sigh*

Well, anyway, my focus right now is to get back into expedition backpacking shape. That will take up more time than i even have, so no gardening for me. Yeah. So . . . keep it coming. :)

I wish I had a partner who was really into it, too. I've got several who are interested once in awhile, and tolerate it the rest of the time. It may be as good as I'm gonna get, and it's certainly better than it could be.

Good luck getting into shape. That always requires a ton of willpower for me. *That's* the one I need a kick in the butt for. :)
