Hire a druid?

[unicornduke]

I just need to be patient. This is the hardest part of the year, where I want to get everything growing and in the ground and I CAN'T so I just have to be patient.

[graydon]

It's tough.

"Hire a druid to extoll the benefits of patience" is probably paying to be annoyed, so not a good plan.

It's difficult to tell what we're in for this spring; some of the models are coming in with wet and unpredictable, some of the models are coming in with heat-elevator; not actual spring, just glop, glop, hot. So, yeah, patience.

Here's hoping the universe doesn't decide to distract you.

said druid would get a-murderin if they sat there and extolled the virtues of patience at me lol

ugh, I hope we don't have another heat-elevator. last year's was bad enough, my poor spring crops didn't do well, plus I had got them in a little later than ideal.

I think if I can just get the rototiller into the ground this weekend, I'll be happy because then I can plant in the rain if necessary since I'm more or less hand planting, as long as the ground is ready.

All the plants I'm raising are in my apartment so I can fuss over them, even though that's not a great idea. But they're hanging out in their incredibly high tech germination chambers so it's fine (germination chambers are clear trash bags enclosed around the flat and misted with water for more humidity)

[graydon]

They should teach you engineering sales language; that sort of germination chamber is "resource-optimized" or maybe "individually monitored small units". (Or both! the brochure would definitely say "resource-optimized individually monitored small units".)

Here's hoping the weekend co-operates!
