Today, I am really glad it is Friday! About 10 days ago, I started having intermittent problems with my technology. I am now on the road to a new pc, but before it arrived the rabbits ate my snap peas.
If you have been following my blogs, you know that I have an organic square foot garden. I am proud of the construction my son and I did together. (see photo). Each morning I go out to check on its progress, feeling pretty smug about the new growth I see.
This past Monday was no different. I had been waiting to put a protective mesh cover on it until I saw significant sprouts on my newly planted veggies. The sugar snap peas had begun to pop their little heads above the ground.
Now I knew that I was in a race against time…..the time when the rabbits might find them. I was feeling a little like Mr. McGregor in the tale of Peter Rabbit. Each morning I rose to find all was well, so I went about my day doing “things” knowing that I needed to get the covering taken care of but being glad that I had been granted one more day.
Monday morning came and as usual I went on my walk. I returned to check on things only to find that my cavelier attitude had finally gotten the better of me. As angry as I was I realized that I only had myself to blame for what had happened.
I had been given time each day to get it done only to put it off for another day. Each day I took advantage of the reprieve I was given to do something else seemingly more important. Only Monday was different. The rabbits DID find the veggies and they DID eat all the little buds.
I now have a covering to protect my vegetables, but it made me think about the harvest we should be preparing for when drought in the economy is over. What are you doing to prepare for the harvest? What do you need to do to make sure the rabbits don’t eat your harvest?
Fortunately for me, I still have time left in the growing season to start over. Do you? What does your image say about you? Are you branding yourself for opportunity that might be around the next corner? Do you dress each day as if there is an opportunity just waiting for you or do you get up and dress as if you were just coming in from a work out or working in the garden?
What rabbits are eating at your harvest? Consider starting each day as if you were planting seeds for the next harvest, because you really are!
Remember always
“Look Good, Feel Great, and Have FUN Doing It!”
