Spirit of Fertilization
A baby boy is coming along in the next 3 weeks or so, timed so nicely - no less! Given some rest for a few weeks (hopefully), I will be planting my gardens by the end of May. It will be a slightly scaled-back garden in complexity, but will still have the hallmarks of an ad hoc gardener.
I will plant fewer tomatoes this year, and will be focusing on more beans, lettuces, flowers, and other lower demanding plants. I am hoping to build up a few more raised beds and do a bit more intensive growing. I really wanted to dig up my front lawn this year, in sections and grow more flowers and herbs. Not sure what the baby will let me do just yet. I envision him in a sling, sleeping while I plant, water and weed.
It is the year of the Rabbit, so the garden may be just what he needs. We're naming him Ethan, the firm one, Thomas, after Thomas Berry, the great geologian who passed away in 2009. We're planning on doing a photo shoot with him in a bunny hat in the garden. Merlin and Smokey, our beloved cats know something is up......
