entry #1

I've been thinking about documenting the transformation of my garden in pictures and words, and at first thought about doing it the old fashioned way by scrapbooking some stuff out. And while I think I'll still be doing that, I thought certain aspects of the gardening experience might best be documented via ye olde worrlde wyde webbe. So here I am!

Granted, I don't have any pictures of my yard right now to post of my journey thus far. But I do have to say a few things. Number one, is when I moved into my house, I was a little less than kind to the plants in my yard. I'd plant a whole bunch of things all at once, get excited about them, and then go off and do other things and forget to water and stuff like that.

This time around I'm taking it slow and steady, planting here and there and plodding along, puttering, plucking and planting. It's a good way to be.

One important thing I'm doing differently is I'm doing a little gardening almost every day. Even if it's just 20 minutes of weeding, that stuff all adds up. This can translate to anything you're passionate about in life. If you give it just a little bit of love every day, extraordinary things can happen.
