A Year of Running + Gardening |
2010: In the grips of a Quarterlife crisis, I'm striving to both commit and find meaning through training for a marathon and becoming a first time gardener. 2011: Second marathon. Second (dead) garden. Higher stakes. 2012: Half-marathoning? Gardening is unlikely Have I bitten off more than I can chew? Probably. Only time will tell. |

Today I visited the garden for the first time in probably two weeks. Much to my surprise, I found that things were still growing. There were several cucumbers, a tomato, two peppers, and several small bunches of broccoli. I also decided it was time to harvest the brussels sprouts.
Each sprout was still pretty small, even after I clipped the growing bud almost a month ago. This is supposed to help the plant focus its energy on developing the sprouts.
