Never caught up
Never tell yourself you've caught up.
I was feeling smug last Sunday.
We have cleaned up the gardens, including the garden pond. I moved the garden pond plants from the cellar to the pond. And I had planted the potatoes.
Monday morning, the onion plants arrive. We have 150 onions -- one-third red, one-third yellow and one-third white -- that have to be placed in turned-over soil, 4 inches apart. Which means a 50-foot row of onions.
I know I said I wanted rain, but maybe not so much. The garden is a bit soggy.
But soon, the onions will have to go in. Then the second planting of peas. And soon we will have to plant the tomato and pepper plants now growing in the cellar under a grow cover in the garden.
Just never say you are caught up. Tasks just appear on your doorstep.
