garden frustration

Today is supposed to be the only rain-free day this week. So today I spent all morning doing yard work that has been waiting for the rain to stop. It was frustrating. I’ve discovered that I don’t have nearly as much vegetable growing space as I thought I did. The grapes I planted all seem to be dead. Weeds have begun to spring up abundantly as a result of late-last-summer neglect. The flowers are beautiful, but this year I wanted to be able to grow some things I can feed to my family. Right now I’m tired and none of the baby green things have food on them yet.

I could ramble on. Dozens of thoughts fill my head, but I can’t seem to muster the energy to make them into something worth reading.
