listening to this podcast about seed saving and getting dangerously ambitious about next year's garden. pretty sure i said 'i'm definitely doing this' about four times in the last hour. we'll see what actually happens #gardenplans

march said 'here's a 70-degree day!' and now i'm out here confused about whether to plant peas or wait two weeks. the weather app is basically fiction at this point 🌱

first crocuses are UP and honestly they might be saving my sanity right now. also the commute was somehow worse today than yesterday which shouldn't be physically possible

anyone else's garden dreams get more ambitious every year or is it just me. next year: double the beds. next year: i say this every year

february be like: still winter but also SPRING ENERGY in the air and nobody knows what to wear or feel

soil test results came back. pH is perfect. feeling irrationally proud of dirt. 🌍

groundhog saw his shadow so six more weeks of winter which means six more weeks of podcast listening. could be worse #february

the coffee shop barista knows my order by heart but i still forget to water the seedlings. logic: 0

people always act shocked that i grow food at home. like it's some extreme hobby. it's literally just... plants

late winter weather whiplash: 28 degrees yesterday, 45 today. my jacket is confused. i'm confused

my kid planted beans in a cup three weeks ago. they've died. we're having a funeral. i'm preparing a eulogy

found a bug on the overwintering kale yesterday. IN FEBRUARY. why are they early. what do they know

current audiobook is SO good i'm taking the long way home just to finish chapters. gas prices are fine whatever

the zero-pesticide rule means i spend a lot of time saying 'that's probably fine' while bugs eat my stuff

reading about crop rotation while stuck in traffic. at least my mind went somewhere pleasant

valentine's day without the garden in full swing hits different. like i'm celebrating wrong somehow

transit observation: people are ANGRY right now. winter does something to everyone's patience. #commute

my tomato seedling setup is basically ready. it's february. i have a problem. or maybe just hope 🤷

the weather app says 42 degrees on friday and i'm treating it like a vacation day. priorities

soil amendments arrived today. i got genuinely excited about compost. this is my life now
