Let go of things that no longer serve you.⁣
⁣
See the little bit of green left in these tomato plants? Honestly, a small part of me felt guilty for ripping them out of the ground.⁣
⁣
But they needed to go. Their tomato-producing days were over. We had to pull them up to make way for new plants.⁣
⁣
Now that they are gone, we've begun planting a new crop. In their place, we are now growing tiny broccoli plants.⁣
⁣
I'm one of the people who struggles to let stuff go. Our garden pushes me to work on this.⁣
⁣
After two years of fighting with ugly hornworms, birds, and even rats, I'm giving up trying to grow tomato plants for awhile. ⁣
⁣
Why did I keep trying to force it? There are so many other plants. So many other possibilities.⁣
⁣
I know we'll still have to battle garden pests, but we're ready for some new vegetables.⁣
⁣
Look around, what do you need to let go of?⁣
