A Garden Without a Plan

· Ellis Vandermeer · Garden Observation Rhythm

At first I tracked everything in a spreadsheet. Rows, beds, expected yield, expected order of tasks.

Then the weeds answered better than my notes and I stopped forcing the plan to keep up.

What looked like indifference became a method: plant, wait, observe, then change one thing at a time.

Now the weeds are not enemies, they are the weather's first comment.
