We watch in wonder as the new tiller shows us its magical skills. Hopefully, this labourer will reduce some of our workload as we carve out our veggie beds for the season.
Already, the overwhelming feeling of too much to do has come. But, I am trying to keep things in perspective because, after all, the days will pass whether I get everything done or not, right? The weather has been great and we are on our field early this year. The garlic did make it after all. Gardening always makes me realize how resilient plants are and it never ceases to amaze me. I believe that when I am seventy I will still wander around the garden in spring and say to myself and the plants, “Wow, we made it through the winter.” Saying that, I still put a fire on this morning because of the North wind blowing away and our house holds onto the damp like a wet towel balled up in the corner. Oh, and did I mention the good ole blackflies are about. Fun, fun!
