Yesterday I was even busier gardening, while Misu was busier lounging for the both of us.  She seems a bit lethargic lately, so we’re keeping an eye on her.

I started planting my new herb garden with perennial and annual/biennial herbs.  I’ll add to it as plants become mature indoors.

I’m working my way down the fence veg bed, transplanting perennials out as I go, then amending the soil to prep it for seeding.  I moved masses of spring bulb flowers, wildflowers, and perennial flowering plants to their respective locations.  Eventually the fence bed will contain all the large summer/fall veggies and sunflowers.

Gardening is an ongoing, never-ending process, so it keeps me productive and out of trouble.  It’s my creative outlet, using nature’s vast, ever-changing palette to beautify our surroundings and improve the quality of our environment, rather than trying to restrict and control it unnaturally.  After all, nature will outlast us all, if we work with it, not against it.

Plus I get to share the excess of food and flowers with other humans, as well as with birds, butterflies, pollinators, and other wildlife.  You can’t lose, knowing your place as collaborator, not dominator, in the natural web.

Speaking of which, back out I go.  Work to be done.  Weeds to be photographed.
