tigerpaws said: I can't say I myself have OCD or gross anxiety but as a gardener I do worry about many things ~ will my seeds germinate, will the plants grow, is there a disease going on and the list goes on and on. Gardening is a hit and miss kind of thing. It can be stressful but also rewarding.


Wish i started gardening with that mindset. Now im aware that there is no such thing as total control but the amount of variables that i did not take into account from the most mundane like watering and fungi to the most extreme like hurricanes and floods is overwhelming. From now on i must accept that there is only so much i can do and let nature do the rest, is it easy to say mut i admit is hard to do. Thank you, wish you the best of luck with your tomatoes.
