No not \u201cgarden style\u201d as in modern, cottage, prairie, or any of those buzzwords. \u201cGardening style\u201d as in how you go about it, or as Patricia wrote last week<\/a>, \u201cgardening by brain style.\u201d Her words got me thinking about my own style. Patricia herself has often accused me of being organized, always having a plan. I think an hour or two of watching me work in the garden would quickly dispel that notion.<\/p>\n

One recent morning I set out to plant a few things that needed to get in the ground now<\/strong> \u2013 as in I was feeling guilty about letting them languish for too long unplanted (garden guilt, we\u2019ll revisit that topic in a bit). Do you think that\u2019s what I did? No. Instead I found myself arranging my hanging planters under the shade pavilion. I\u2019d long been mulling over what\u00a0belonged\u00a0where and what to plant in them, suddenly I had to act.
\n\"containers\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I suppose Patricia is right, in that I went out with a plan (to plant), I always start with a plan. And I eventually accomplish that which I set out to do, just not right away. Does that happen to you too? Distracted by tasks you might not have even realized\u00a0you needed to do? In case you’re wondering, yes, the planting did occur…
\n\"Eupatorium<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh but the other things I got done beforehand! The lawn was mowed and edged, it\u2019s like straightening up the kitchen before you start cooking.
\n\"lawn\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I divided and moved a variegated Hosta that (for years) had been buried by less exciting leaves.
\n\"Hosta<\/a><\/p>\n

And I picked last year\u2019s leaf litter out of my prized Agave victoriae-reginae.
\n\"Agave<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s amazing what I get done when I\u2019m not getting done the thing I went out to get done.<\/p>\n

I keep\u00a0telling\u00a0myself gardening is a luxury, not a need.\u00a0But we all know differently don’t we? I need that time in the garden to disconnect from\u00a0the digital world and connect with the real, live one.<\/p>\n

Now about that guilt. Megan<\/a> has been known to say \u201cthere is no guilt in gardening\u201d \u2013 it\u2019s a great motto, and I get it. And I wouldn’t really say that I have gardening guilt, more like occasionally being garden-task overwhelmed. There are times when there is so much to do in the garden that it becomes a huge weight. One that quickly lifts when I\u2019m able to get out there and start doing, which I am going to do now! (hope you are too, soon…)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
