Is there ever a point where I can feel like I'm caught up? [View all]

Like maybe when I retire and can do nothing but work in the yard all day?

I still have three raised metal beds to assemble and place and fill.

I have baby hosta plants for an area in my yard that I’ve been eyeing for years but haven’t done anything with because of various construction projects. Now those are completed, and I bought some hostas. But, I need to move a bunch of flat pavers from one side of the property to the other to build up a back edge. Meanwhile the hostas are screaming at me to be planted.

I did a ton of winter sown containers this year. So many are sprouting and are almost ready to transplant. I’ve been trying to grab one or two a day to work into the yard/veggie garden but maybe, just maybe I planted too many? Dh still asks if I want empty milk jugs and of course I do. Of course.

Because next year I won’t be overwhelmed at all. Right?

Oh and I have a bunch more hosta roots coming. I shouldn’t have looked at Brecks, but my kid sent me a link to a beautiful dahlia and so I went down a rabbit hole. Might as well order some hostas while I’m picking up a dahlia tuber or five.
