Still green, our wedding vows have only ripened for a mere three months as we hereby enter our first growing season as a married couple.
En lieu of pre-maritall counseling, my Lover and I opted for the much more grueling and revealing task of pre-marital homesteading. During our experiments in the dirt together, Doug and I came to realize one big difference between us. I am a planner. He is a doer. I research every project meticulously and formulate a plan for its precise execution. He dives right into projects, making do with whatever knowledge and materials he has and then learns from his successes and failures.
Neither of our strategies is necessarily bad in moderation, but we’re both extremists at what we do – or my case, plan. Our biggest challenge in the garden together is finding some kind of compromise between my neurotic planning and his haphazard doing.
