Last Sunday, Dan and I spent time in the dirt. We put tiny little seeds into the ground, hoping, as we laid each one, that they will sprout and provide us with delicious vegetables. I must admit, I have been feeling a bit more nervous this year. Last year we really just went for it - planted tons of stuff, not really knowing what to expect. We were totally (and pleasantly) surprised. Now, knowing what can be, I am just a bit nervous. Were we gentle enough with the teeny tiny seeds? Did we plant too soon? Is our garden layout just right? Are the squirrels going to dig up all of our onions?
As I was leaving for work this morning, thinking about some of these questions, and quite honestly, fretting, I stopped, just for a moment and took in our little stakes indicating what we have planted and I felt really excited - not nervous. I felt excited for what's to come - even if the squirrels get away with some onions and we find that we did mess up along the way - it's all part of it and I am really excited.
We're posting this around the garden for
all of the weeds to see.
