start a garden

...turns out it was all about the water. I didn’t water nearly enough. Which kind of goes along with another goal I have (drink more water). :p

The first thing I do when I get home from work is go check on my garden to see the new growth- it’s so neat! I’m not obsessed like people get with gardens, but it is very nice to watch things grow, and know they need you to take care of them, to an extent.

Okay, I tried again. I came home from work today and looked closely and eagerly, as though the seedlings would sprout overnite….patience….

I tried to start my first garden this spring…but all of my seedlings that I started inside have died. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. Maybe I planted too soon? I’d like to try again, but I’m not keen on starting lives and then ending them…so sad! So hopefully I can make it happen this time. My mom has an amazing green thumb, and when I was a little girl I had my own little section of the garden sectioned off with rocks, and I seemed able to grow things then. Perhaps there is something childlike and organic about growing a garden- maybe I’m being too serious about it. Maybe I should just twirl around and throw seeds with abandon and see what happens? :)
