High Hopes Gardening

 

I am a high hopes gardener.

When I coined that phrase in my thinking this afternoon, I immediately wanted to name everything High Hopes.

High Hopes seed purchases-

and High Hopes planning.


In fact, as gardening season begins soon, I am naming all of my raised beds High Hopes.

Do you have high hopes for this season’s gardening?

Remember this song?

Just what makes that little old ant
Think he’ll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can’t
Move a rubber tree plant
But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He’s got high apple pie, in the sky hopes

Smiling Spring of 2013

Earlier this spring, as my yard and garden beckoned,

and my series of projects began,

I started working hard on my yard.

I will forever refer to it as the

Smiling Spring of 2013.


It was the great contradiction in terms:

smiling in between ouches and rose bush scratches,

smiling while digging and hoeing and planting and watering and dragging hoses and

grabbing my aching back and wondering,

‘if I holler loud enough, will someone come pull me out of the back aching frozen position I am in at

the foot of my tomato beds?’

  
But…

I was smiling and in heaven.
