This place feeds on our attention. It doesn't matter if it is the NFL, the news, pizza recipes, gardening, band interviews or the latest piano lesson. It will badger you using many techniques of fear, work ethic, interest, etc to keep you engaged. Why are there hundreds of variety of bean seeds says Jack? Why are there hundreds of varieties of cucumber seeds? Fertilizer? Watering techniques? Preservation techniques? Who needs more than 75 varieties of basil? This time of year, the amateur gardener is blasted with seed catalogs and videos to push him to engage. I am pushing myself to get less and less "done" on a daily basis, instead choosing to look out the window and reflect on all that I have been through.
