Sleep + gardening + work = life is good! It\u2019s been a fun and productive week of final layout for the June Horizons Magazine, as well as lots of time off for gardening breaks as\u00a0I put in the hanging herb and veggie garden. \u00a0At first light, I went around to all the saplings, bending them into the shapes I\u2019d like them to grow in. I did a surprise one on the chinese tallow for the mail chick out by the mailbox. I showed it to her when she came by: I\u2019d trimmed it so the branches wouldn\u2019t grow in her direction, and I fanned the three trunks out for her, like a wave. \u00a0She laughed. \u00a0She said her mangos and avocados never give fruit and I suggested she put a slow dripline on them overnight to wake them up. \u00a0My plants all respond like crazy to more water. \u00a0I\u2019ve been doing my yoga on the back porch so I can watch the mama cardinal sit on her nest. \u00a0It\u2019s better than tv.<\/p>\n
