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. |
What’s this? I’m holding cucumbers and a sweet pepper. The sweet pepper finally turned red after months of anticipation. It’s beautiful, red, glossy and hopefully tasty.
The cucumbers were from a different, and frankly, a significantly less publicized plant, which I grew from a seed. I don’t know that I took any pictures of it. It was tucked away in the corner of the garden where it began seeing less sunlight than in an ideal situation. It got angry and produced these little guys.
You win some, you lose some.
