Ladies...your gardens are just as beautiful...your gardens are what you are...perfect. Neither is MORE anything. I fight this comparison/judgement crisis all of the time!!! And I have chosen (after hours of anguish) to just accept what I have/don't have/can do. There is no one with long robes going to look at you and say, "Sorry, you are a failure. You have 47,000 more weeds than the allowable 5. Go to the back of the line.
I am happy. My animals are happy. My husband is happy. My plants are healthy and prolific. More I cannot give you. Ma Nature is NOT perfect...collections are NEVER complete...
I have fought this comparison 'stuff' for years and beat myself to a pulp, in my 60s trying to have a perfect showplace. Crikey...I have 12 acres in a climate where everything grows more than it should...where Agent Orange would fail...and I have decided that it IS WHAT IT IS. Basta. Enough. Thanks for your visit. Ciao!!!
All said with a big smile and lots of love.
