    Tempting BUT… I got clean off hard drugs a bit over a year ago so it’s kinda MY project and therapy yknow. I wanna figure it out. Still in the frustrating start up and learning phase, but even now it’s pretty fulfilling. Maybe in 15 years when my back is broken I may do that 😄

      Hey, good on ya for staying the course! I completely agree that gardening is an incredibly satisfying therapy, a meditation even. Back in the day, I got into cannabis cultivation and ended up more fulfilled by the growing part and less about the end product — though my friends never seemed to mind the free gifts every few weeks, heh. My mom was the same way with her vegetable garden when I was little, now that I think of it: all the neighbors looked forward to her tomatoes, long beans, snap peas, and strawberries. 🥰

      Are there any local groups or societies that you could join? Some sort of buddying up programme where you help each other out, or something.
