Got my first baby-step done.

So, I’ve been a numb meat pod for a year and a half.

I made a post a few days ago about checking in and saying hi. I’ve made progress.

I have to start learning or refining skills. That starts at day one, so my Ma agreed to use her flower box attached to her home. It’s probably 10’ by 20”, and about 15ish inches deep.

I decided on some okra, tomatoes, and jalapeños. I am experimenting here.

I did see a really diseased bush immediately adjacent, so she agreed to let me tear it out if I tended a new one.

I’m going to neem oil the entire area so the blight doesn’t spread.

Not very happy about the delay. But rolling with the punches is worth it. I’ll leave her front yard better and healthier than it was.

Not having any gardening experience, I went to a local place. She has her own sorta commercial homestead on a half acre, kind of in the older part of town. Neat place. She let me hold her emotional support hen; she’s in the running for the most zen animal I’ve ever been around. She was kind of just a lump!

Anyway, I meant to plant, but I encountered an issue and had a nice experience. Have a good night y’all!
