I’m craving berries.
Lockdown has not been a time of convenience. It seems reckless to pop out for every craving, so these dark delights just pile up on the wish list.
Right now my wish list includes:
Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries, Doritos, Pepperoni, Cesar Dressing, Ice Cream, Granola, Prosciutto, Kashi Cereal, Twinnings English Breakfast Tea, Swedish Ginger Cookies, Whipped Cream, Wasa Crisp Bread, Dark Chocolate Chips, Puff Pastry Dough and some Lambrusco.
These things aren’t essentials, but indulgence takes the edge off confinement. However, constant indulgence creates its own vicious cycle, so I’m going to balance all this out with some time in the garden.
After prepping some old wine crates as raised beds, I planted bare root strawberries today. They’re inexpensive compared to buying full size strawberry plants. Hopefully they are not too delicate. It’s been drizzling pretty steadily, so I’m gambling that these babies will thrive.
Garden bliss.
