A post with an important list
Things I found in what it supposed to be my garden:
- wood chips, too fucking many;
- ants, many flavours thereof;
- ant hills;
- ant tunnels;
- earth worms;
- cigarette butts;
- those things from bread bags you get in grocery stores;
- shredded bits of plastic;
- a button;
- broken bits of ceramics;
- dandelions;
- a centipede;
- a really big nail;
- weird fuzzy insulation stuff.
Gardening is /very hard/ and trying to remove all the shit put down to prevent weeds from sprouting is even harder, at least when all you have to accomplish this is garbage bags, a rake, and a tiny trowel. Also, when you don't know how to start a garden really.
Planted giant pansies, forget-me-nots, and black nemophila seeds tonight, to go with ... that stuff I put in the dirt over the weekend that I forget, and the pansies Sarri bought that I transplated.
Gardening is good if you don't want to think. And eventually, maybe, you have flowers, which are nice.
ETA: Maple butter is fucking delicious on soft fresh bread.
