Some people will tell you about their “unhealthy” obsessions, which implies that there are such things as healthy ones. Which is helpful because I do find myself, from time to time, enjoying my obsessions. Running, for instance, has been something with which I have been obsessed. It’s something I would like to be more obsessed with here as the pool is opening. Oh well.
Instead I am obsessed with the garden. To be clear, we are talking about sixteen square feet here. Not a huge spread, but still. The compost is going great gangbusters. Probably about time to open that up again. Got the rain barrel all set up. Just in time for it to rain. Also figured out a way to reuse an old hose with the rain barrel to do my watering. Not bad. And I got me some peppers and squash to put in. Would like some eggplant too. We’ll see about that.
Just talking about it gets me a little bit high. Like a runner’s high, not like a pot high. Can’t wait to get these plants in the ground. Gives me something to look forward to all day. And now its raining. I’ll get wet going in from the car. That’s ok. I’ll have a full barrel when I get home.
