Beds and seasons · 2 min read
A path wide enough for a foot
A path wide enough for a foot. Start with the path you actually walk. Look at the plant, the soil, and the light before you look for a tool.
Do it in order
Then widen it before the plants spill across it. One change at a time. A garden records every extra change whether you meant to or not.
The usual miss
The common mix-up is a bed stepped in every time you water. Undo that, or stop, before you add water, feed, or a second plant.
You can leave it when you can water without standing on the soil. Tomorrow's look matters more than today's perfect photograph.
This is a "Beds and seasons" note. The path you actually walk will tell you next week whether the note was right.
A garden note, not a promise that a plant will thrive. Look again in a week.
