This is the second day in a row that I woke up at 3-4am in the morning and could not go back to bed. This week has been rather stressful for me, especially at work. I started watering my plants and noticed that I have been doing this inconsistently the past week. And it made me think how my garden can be a reflection of or surrogate for my mental health. It is an outlet for me, but sometimes, I can get so tired, that even the things I enjoy don’t feel to enjoyable anymore (I think the proper word is anhedonia). However, my seeds are still sprouting, and I was so excited to finally start my peas and cucumbers that I have been waiting to trellis on my two makeshift pagodas. The pagodas are composed of 3 garden stakes and 2 PVC pieces each. I will have to take a picture of this and post it here someday.
