soil temp is 38°F. technically I could start seeds indoors but why would I rush this. let it be cold for five more minutes.

traffic today was so bad I listened to two entire podcast episodes. still had time to rewind the confusing part at the end. dark times

my resolution to 'reduce stress' lasted about 4 days. but my resolution to 'start tomato planning in January' is absolutely thriving

cleared out the cold frame from last season's cover crop. it's just sitting there now looking empty. soon, little lettuce babies. soon. 🥬

january observation: people are friendlier on delayed commutes. something about shared suffering brings us together

the seedling heat mat is on and I'm getting excited about March. too early? probably. do I care? no. #gardenlife

someone recommended an audiobook about soil microbiomes and honestly? that's my brand. finally something I won't have to rewind.

weather app says 'feels like 8°F' and I'm in my warmest hoodie questioning all my life choices. also texting everyone to prepare

updating my garden journal with last year's tomato notes. 47 varieties. 47! still can't believe I pulled that off.

the coffee shop barista knows my order by heart now because I sit there during my commute delays. we're basically friends 😅

why do people think January is a good time to start new hobbies? gardening happens in SPRING. but also I've already failed three resolutions so what do I know

January soil amendment haul arrived and I'm treating it like Christmas presents. my partner doesn't understand. he will never understand.

commute was a dream today. only 20 minutes. I used the extra time to rewind 5 minutes of my audiobook that I somehow missed. #winning

the frost is predicting to hit 12°F tonight and my cold frame is looking real smug right now. as it should.

realizing I never actually started that 'learn composting science' resolution. but I did organize my amendments shelf so partial credit?

podcast recommendation: anything that doesn't require your full attention because apparently January brain is still happening

my succulent collection is thriving but the tomato seedlings are judging me from the window. spring can't come soon enough

someone on the highway today drove 15 mph under the speed limit in the passing lane and I had THOUGHTS. kept them to myself though. growth 🙃

the soil thermometer says 38°F. too cold for my impatient tomato brain but I'll wait. barely.

new cozy season goal: finish ONE audiobook without rewinding the entire last chapter. it's ambitious but I believe in myself
