S1E49 I’m Not A 4 Season Gardener And That’s Ok


Listen Later

There’s part of me that feels guilty that I’m not a four season gardener.  Honestly, I’m not sure that I’m anything more than a summer gardener.  But, I’m starting to be ok with that.  

This year I started feeling the pressure to be a multi season gardener.  In part, I think it was the pandemic.  I had this incredible urge to grow as much food as possible.  To grow as if our lives depended on it.  Because, well, maybe they did.  

I also felt pressure to be a multi-season gardener because I saw a lot of other people doing it.  People planting spring gardens and then summer gardens and then fall gardens.  But, as the frost hit this weekend, instead of feeling sadness, I honestly felt a sense of relief.  I realized something; I’m ready for gardening to be over.  I’m done with shutting off canners at 2 AM.  I’m sick of having a table of semi-ripe tomatoes in the back window.  I’m done with tripping over canners and rings and such.  I’m done. Until the spring. 

Maybe you feel the same way.  It's ok.  Enjoy the pep talk in this week's podcast!!

 Enjoy!
