The busiest day in the garden! So many jobs

So many things to do in the garden, and just a day to do them all. OK, not really, but there were a lot of jobs I wanted to do and ghrn of course there were the jobs I just did without any plan to, as gardeners are wont to do
This video, like the gardener at the end of it, is a bit of a mess, with weird sound, weird music and more than a few uncomfortably unflattering clips of me. I hope you enjoy it anyway.

@Cherryparfait41 29 күн бұрын

Exactly! It’s the nitty-gritty, deep dive, we all experience but normally don’t see. Plus, being in on those ‘at the moment’ decisions hit home. I so often get in deeper than intended, hyper focused or even ‘in the weeds’. Sometimes digging myself out on the fly or stepping back to ponder….which, can then lead me to another area 😂 that just may add to the balls already in the air. ‘Poking plants’ …sometimes love the search and the risk involved. Often hope I have enough steam to cleanup after the cleanup. 😂 Great work, Erin! ❤

I am the same type of gardener as you seem to be. I head outside with a plan in my head of what I want to accomplish and I get distracted all over the place and sometimes end up not getting to what I planned to do at all. 🙃 The main thing is that I enjoy getting things done in the garden in whatever way works for me on a given day. Thanks for sharing your day!

I planted some boxwoods that said it was only supposed to get to three feet. Because I planted it during one of the busiest times of my life, kids, work ect..I ignored them totally, 25 plus years later they are at least double the size the plant tag said, while I don’t mind them my husband HATES them so I’ve been slowly trying to cut them back but they do make a nice living fence to hold back the huge snow drifts we get during the winter. That being said I recommend not truly believing in the information that plant tags provide, I was recently told that trees/ shrubs never really stop growing, they may slow down, really slow down but continue to keep growing until they die. So buyers beware of the information on plant tags. 🌺💚🙃

We often do 16 to 18 hours a day so good audiobooks are a necessity.

My garden feeds my soul no matter what's happening in it at the moment.
