Gardening on a Time Budget
This year’s season has come upon us so quickly — with the lack of warm weather some of us were delayed in getting to the Garden Centers for our annuals. I just went here at the end of June to pick up some herbs and plants and with a deficit of time this year I will be posting more with thoughts and ideas of gardening on a time budget.
This year my gardening has consisted of briefly digging a hole and sticking in the plant. They have been lucky if I remember to water them and have yet to be fertilized. Although it’s not the ideal way of gardening — it is what many of us find ourselves in as we are pulled in various directions that life throws at us. I think it’s also what makes us very appreciative of the vibrant colour and serenity when we look out our window or have a brief chance sit out on the patio.
As such, in posts to come I will post some pictures of the containers that although I would like to say have been lovingly created and cared for, in reality have been put together in a quick rush before the next meeting, dinner guests or pending inbox full of emails. I will also try to post some tips and tricks that worked (or didn’t) in obtaining a garden container patio on a time budget.
