This is not fair!! ALL of them are next year's goals for me. Just sayin...

keeping up with what i already have and replanting the strawberry garden eventually. expanding one garden some more (less grassy area means less mowing and i'm weeding anyways so what is another few dozen square feet?). and then just your basic day to day survival.

[edited to add: get the roof fixed at last]

Another resolution :
I’ll never again try to bring a 15-foot-tall Eucalyptus home in my Mini SUV by standing it up through the sunroof. (Or at least if I do, I won’t use the drive-through at my local espresso place with the low overhang again.)

With a downsized garden, I will not shift to an unwillingness to Try things New. I am averse to randomness and failure. Failure with living things is disheartening so, tried and true has to have its place.

That said, much of the joy in gardening is in venturing into the unknown. This doesn't have to be mindless – research is also part of the fun. With veggies, harvesting and making use of something new, opens up kitchen opportunities and interests at the table. Rewards!

Explore the boundaries. And yes, I am not finished with life's clichés. No way, Jose! Limits on growing sweet corn? I'm thinking of using husks and making tamales!

Seriously … This season I plan on accepting my limitations and remain in good shape. Stop garden projects that are to much for one day and spread them out over a timeline that works best for my limitations. And I hope to use ‘Mindfulness’…think ahead before taking on projects plan for the best way for accomplishing each task . And lastly rest in between tasks and add in a chocolate protein snack.
