April 14

I went outside earlier today to look at the garden box. I haven't planted anything, but as I've mentioned before, there are plenty of tomato seedlings battling it out for dominance. I was, however, a little bit surprised to see this:

Down there in the corner, outside of the box itself, is a cluster of seedlings.

They're not where conventional gardening wisdom says they should be, yet they're thriving anyway, and actually look better than some of the ones inside the box.

Human life is like that, too, I think: sometimes, the "right" things for us aren't what we might expect, but if we roll with them, we can really grow from the experience.
