I thought that since confession is good for the soul (LOL), we might talk about rituals.
Some of us are religious and I'm not really talking about that. We are gardeners or hope-to-be gardeners. We can talk about garden rituals and not-garden rituals, since this is the random forum
.
Here is a garden ritual for me: I grow lots of seedlings in late winter and early spring. Far more seedlings than I can do anything with. They are what we called in the greenhouse, "weak sisters" in almost every packet of seed. I imagine that on every seed stalk there are mature and slightly immature seeds. Immature seeds may germinate but they may have little strength. You've got room for 10 plants. There are 12 seedlings. (This subject is already making me sad :/.) What are you gonna do with the weak sisters????? I conscientiously ~ down to the last speck of green in the starter mix ~ put those in the compost. They are NOT ignored, trashed, carelessly tossed. They go to the betterment of the garden. (It goes the same way for thinned-out plants in the garden.)
NOW - deep breath - it will be easier to talk about my anti-ritual! Yes, it has nothing to do with gardening. You know how you might brush your hair as soon as you get out of bed in the morning. You don't need to do that . . .
I have the most uncontrollable hair in the world! Still, if I'm up 2 hours before anyone else - if you just allow gravity to work its miracle - your hair will return to some simbalance of the way it was combed after the last time it was washed. Yes!
