Feeling sad as… I wish I had the space and physical ability to be making a big garden and building shit
I would have dragged those free pallets I saw home and built Melbcat a palace
Do what you can to the fullest. In a small garden I would be doing something I know I can do and that is pretty much guaranteed. Otherwise it's just heartbreak.
It’s hard when you have the ideas but not the health to do things. I’ve been there, and it can be so frustrating. Hugs. But also, a small example of why it doesn’t matter. I’m lucky enough to have outdoor garden space. But sometimes life gets in the way, or the weather, or tiredness; and weeds go crazy and plants need pruning and it’s an unkempt jungle. But my few indoor pot plants? I water them weekly, pull off any dead leaves, and take care of them. I enjoy them just as much as the outdoor space, enjoy them more often, because I see them every single day and it brightens up my space. Bigger isn’t necessarily better. Small things can make life nicer just the same.
