I went to Maine earlier in the week. On the long way there, I listened to a great podcast about slowing down, not procrastinating, and all the related things. Apparently there is some small theory that people who procrastinate are more creative. So I guess I’m procrastinating on writing up the latest garden update and…
Man oh man. Everyone should immediately grill some tomatoes. Immediately. During the weekends, I repeatedly check on the tomato plants like they are children.
