    I never really got the idea of having one hobby and letting that define you.

    I’m gardening a bit and I’m not very good at it, if I need some woodworking done and feel like it’s a reasonable difficulty, I’ll do that myself (badly) etc etc.

    I don’t want to spend all my free time doing one thing, that’s what I do as a job already.

      Oh man I put so much time into my garden this year, planted so many vegetables, started a bunch indoors on a nice indoor greenhouse I set up with one of those rolling shelves. I was basically ready to feed my whole family from the garden…

      So far I’ve got a whopping 3 bell peppers, 6 tomatoes and one tiny baby squash that’s starting to grow.

      Granted we had a very hot summer that I wasn’t prepared for and even watering 3 times a day a lot of my stuff just burnt, plus the ravenous squirells that ate every seedling I put out.

      But I’ll do it all again next year because it was a blast.
