In my last post, I mentioned that I sometimes feel overwhelmed with gardening tasks and that I need to slow down and make sure gardening is fun, not a burden. Part of the problem is that I tend to be a weekend warrior, doing the vast bulk of my gardening in just a day or two on the weekend. This week, I am trying something different. Each night, I’m going to do just one (or maybe two) small tasks. That way, I should be able to get caught up without feeling overwhelmed by a long to do list. Tonight, I repotted the cucumber seedlings. I’m going to have way more plants than I’ll need, but I’ll give away the extras. After the cucumbers, I planted the pole beans. So, two items off my list! I’ll leave you today with a few more flower pictures from the garden. The rhodie is particularly striking.
Happy zen gardening.

Great post, Sandy! I spent some time watering tonight and like the idea of enjoying a task or two a day.
Hi Lillian, some of those cukes will be coming your way this week! 🙂
I’m envious of your rhodie! Beautiful.
I am a big advocate of doing small amounts daily so that the gardening weekend does not become overwhelming. It sounds like you had a very productive evening!
