I am still not sure what next spring holds for me as far as gardening, but I did receive 2 seed catalogs on Saturday. For some people, gardening is a hobby, but in my case it is a lifestyle choice bordering on obsession. I pore over catalogs, imagine planting layouts and fertilizing schedules. As retirement and its supposed abundance of free time looms, ever more elaborate schemes are afoot.
The fly in the proverbial ointment is lack of space. The latest edition of Casa Monzeglio does not boast large sunny areas in which to pursue my passion. I still look longingly at the wide open spaces at our previous abode. 18 years of steady soil improvement have made my old gardening space extremely productive. Should we not sell the property by the time spring 2020 rolls around, the temptation to continue farming/gardening will become stronger. I guess time will tell. Excuse me while I fantasize.
