Absolutely No Panic. Spring is only here once a year! (She says, closing her eyes to how much the ground elder has grown in the last 5 minutes.) Plenty of time to plant seeds and enjoy the flowers and do all those lovely things. Enjoy!
I actually think it grows faster than the speed of light. If only its energies could be put to better use: carbon sequestration? household dust removal? One lives in hope.
My personal spring gardening is very limited due to living in an inner city roof apartment without balcony. But I planted mint and some cuttings of various indoor plants, and sowed some morning-glory and cannabis. Besides that I have to rely on foraging and the supermarket for my herbal needs.
No need to feel shame about doing less in your garden, it gives native plants and animals a chance to thrive.
Well, my parents always called me lazy when I pointed out things we could just not do, for the sake of nature. But they always wanted everything to be tidy
There's definitely a movement towards not having such tidy gardens and having some scruffy areas for nature. It's taking time but we're all getting there I think.
I couldn't agree more. Im all for accountability when it matters, but no-one is going to die if I don't have a perfect garden. And I despise the technicolor brights of bedding plants. Whenever I succumb to them desperation, I wish I hadn't. 🥰
Best policy - Enjoy the moment! 💚
We should all be a bit more of an idle dog this spring!

Go wild!! Restore, reignite, rewild

I like the idea of reframing my laziness as being kind to nature!
