Dear blog,
Oh how I've missed you! I've thought a lot about you these past two years. I thought about you last year when I wondered how my lettuce yield compared to the year before. I thought about you in the fall when I waited interminably for my chard to sprout, wondering whether the slow start was typical. I started you to share with friends and keep track of my gardening lessons, but I couldn't keep up with you. I couldn't keep up with you because uploading pictures was a pain the ass.
In the olden days, I had to plug my camera in to the computer to upload photos. Before doing that, because I have an old camera, I had to plug the camera into the wall. Then I had to upload the photo to my computer, and THEN to my picasa album! Then finally to the blogger, where I painstakingly arranged it in the middle of the text window, only for it to move from being centered to left justified when I hit return. So annoying! But with the advent of (golly gee!) smartphones, I can now upload photos directly to my blog. I hope this changes things.
You can see that in the intervening years, I've managed to keep my garden alive. Some things - like the dogwood - are even thriving! I'm rotating my crops, attracting bees with annual flowers, and creating an aura of relaxation even if the garden is rarely that. I enjoy the view, though, many times each day.
Soon,
GG
