Make peace with what you achieve each day in the garden. There will always be more compost to turn, a branch to clip, a weed poking its head out. And each day, the gardener will have only so much time and energy. The garden will be waiting tomorrow.
With a season stretching ahead of us, it may seem as if there is time enough to do everything. But gardeners should choose to do only those things to do that will support the life of their garden each day. It is easy to get lost being busy. Take a moment to decide what will make a real difference.
At any moment, we are faced with so many options and choices, most of which have no lasting impact. Choose to spend time only on those that are important. By hewing to this rule, even if each day not everything is accomplished, by the end of the season, transformation occurs.
