Does there need to be a break in Winter?

This is about the time of year where everybody gets stir crazy. You want to plant now. It seems like forever until Spring. You’ve committed to more seeds, more amendments, and plans for new beds. Some may have already put in seed orders depending on how close to the equator they are. So much for thumbing through catalogs.

There are years where you had the energy to plant a winter garden if your climate allows. For some, that is microgreens. For others, you can put brassicas out. They should be at a point where they are growing on their own and you can rest if you’d like.

I think there is time to, without need for explanation, take a little break. You can be a gardener who has other things on their plate, or one would hope. Explore your other hobbies. Fulfill your other obligations.

I have an X-Carve CNC that I spend some time on. There are two 3D printers that constantly need adjustments under my roof. I am at around 40% of finishing The Fourth Turning. This is all important stuff too.

Some people warn of “Spreading yourself too thin.” You also need to be careful that you are spreading yourself evenly.
