Tell Me…
One time, as a newbie gardener I was agonizing over where to place a rose in my garden.
I was so worried I would do it wrong, I kept moving the pot around and never getting it in the ground.
Finally my mother said, “You are not placing that rose in cement. If you plant it and you later change your mind, you can dig it up and move it. Get it in the ground already!! Gardens are never ‘done’!”
Best piece of gardening advice ever!
Gardens are never “done”.

My most recent favorite movie is The Martian. If there had been internet connectivity in that movie, certainly this would have been the podcast he played. My favorite saying in there is “Begin”. So as spring time comes upon us and I feel very overwhelmed, I will relisten to this broadcast and “Begin.”
