It's easy when it's warm out, there are endless garden tasks - watering, observing, picking. This is a transition point - the Saturday morning wear is warmer (at least temporarily), the mornings move a bit slower - even after the coffee. The outdoor tasks start mixing more heavily with indoor tasks.
There's been an influx of seeds from the Dwarf project from some of our volunteers - those all need to be recorded in my seed log and properly stored (so I can find them again when needed).....the book proposal remains in progress....planning for next year - you've heard it all before, which means it is not as easy to get motivated to move through it. I am a much better starter than finisher - and when activities move inside, that aspect becomes more apparent!
And so I will move through some of these tasks - I am a dabbler, so will relocate to my office, put on some good music, and do a bit of this and a bit of that. The Greek Festival at the Fairgrounds looks interesting - that will likely be our lunch destination. When the rain ends and it warms a bit (tomorrow and beyond), I will return to tossing pots of dirt and dead plants, final pickings of sweet peppers and eggplant, cultivation of the new rows of lettuces and beets and Brussels Sprouts. This chill will be short lived, but I can't use that as an excuse to not finish the indoor garden tasks that are harder to find motivation for....
But somehow, every year, it all gets done! A little pressure on the deadlines is a good thing - and that's what's missing now. So I will continue to dabble....
