So I haven’t prepared a proper list of all the challenges, resolutions, risks I want to take in this “Year 30”, gardening has been on my wish list for life. I have never been able to grow anything. Everything pretty much dies within a week or two.
So a few weeks ago – it was beautiful spring day in Northern Virginia and I was visiting my family. And my dad, who is a pretty green thumb was talking about what he was planting for the coming year. And I got a bee in my bonnet and we went to a garden store where I proceeded to spend entirely too much money on a hobby I was even good at.
But here I am with tomato, pepper and tomato seeds, a strawberry plant, basil, thyme, rosemary, spinach and lettuce. Two weeks later I have successfully transplanted the plants that were already blooming, and started a few of the tomato seeds. We’ll see how this all works out.
But it’s now on the list of challenges for this year. The list of things I’ve always wanted to do but never done. The list of things I’m terrified of failing at (hello triathlon!). The list of things that I hope will make me a better person and help me lead the life I’ve been imagining throughout my 20’s.
