Good morning,
It’s another wet morning here and maybe I shouldn’t even write it like this, because it seems to be the norm for the last five months. Rain is something we saw more that anything else in this time. But the spring is also definitely in the air. The birds are crazy loud and everything is turning green in the garden. And somehow it doesn’t feel as good as it should.
It’s too early, it’s only half February and I should only be smiling while looking at our winter blooming bush not because there are so many signs of new life in the garden. It scares me to see it, but I also need spring very much right now. So I’m at a place where I don’t know how to feel about it all.
I’m also late with everything in the garden. The work I would normally do i February and March needed to be done already. I probably should find a day and do everything I still can, before it will be completely too late.
How are you feeling about this early spring?
First of all, you are not too late with the work in the garden. The only thing it's time for now: sprinkle lime in the border, the vegetable garden and over the lawn. Everything else can wait. Remember: how do you eat an elephant? In small pieces. This principle applies to yard work, too.
How I feel about this early spring? It is what it is. I focus on what I can control, what I can do myself. You desperately need spring now and nature is giving it. Perfect!
