I didn t look hard enough. Once I realized what it was, I laughed out loud. At myself, at them, at the seasons. We are often humbled in the garden. We realize we can not hope to control or direct some of the variables we encounter.
Weather is an example of the uncontrollable.
It might rain today, it might not. It might freeze tonight, it might not. While we may be aware of the general odds for our region, we can t change the outcome. So part of gardening is a reactive process. In the garden some things can wait, and some can not.
