Progress!

Isn't that what life is all about? Making progress? Here's my inventory of recent progress:
  1. After three and a half weeks on the job I know how to:
    •  pinch/deadhead anything
    • tie standards
    • trim standards
    • clean standards
    • re-tie standards
    • water
    • pot
    • use hedge shears for hours
    • make huge hanging baskets
    • move full grown, huge hanging baskets
    • safely operate industrial hair dryer
    • install drip irrigation
  2. After two and a half weeks of  gardening I have:
    • several baby tomatoes
    • a lot of weeds (some of which have been reduced to only roots)
    • one baby watermelon, not yet pollinated
    • several baby peppers, already gifted to neighbors
    • one happily blooming yarrow
    • one brilliantly blooming agastache
    • four baby zucchini plants that resemble swish cheese because of:
    • too many cucumber beetles
    • one neighbor willing to take over the plot at the end of the summer :)
  3. After a week and a half since re-committing to running I have:
    • become tolerably conditioned to hills
    • ran in the gardens 3 times
    • learned to enjoy really cold showers
  4. After a month and a week of blogging I have:
    • completed a whopping 8 posts (now 9 :)
    • learned how to wrestle semi-successfully with formatting
    • started reading several other blogs
    • begun to develop a desire to blog regularly. maybe. . .
