The 'Done' Thing

17 years ago

I promised myself I'd be done when I ran out of seeds, had plenty of dirt, plenty of containers. But I have not run out of seeds, how can I when I keep getting more? You know, people here talk about things that sound cool so I look them up, then find the seeds. I am now trying to give seeds away but don't have enough gardening friends. So I promised myself I'd stop when I reached 200 jugs. Went way over 200, stopped counting. Ran out of dirt. I snuck out and got more.

Lied, told my family it was for planting out.

Then I told my jug supplier, the nice cafeteria lady at the school where I work, to cut me off. She did. So that was it. I ran out. I was done. I would really save my potting dirt for planting out. I would save my seeds for next year, some were bound to be viable. I was done.

But, lo and behold! Someone left a milk jug on top of my trash can yesterday! And then, believe it or not, I found 9 more things inside my own house that were almost as good as jugs! Sowed 'em all! Then, realized I could re-use all my 200 plus jugs again as I planted out!

I will never be done. Never.
