I learned that the more i THINK i know about ponds, the LESS i actually know.
I know that the more I learn about growing food, the less I know.
It is a frustrating yet exhilarating feeling that I enjoy thoroughly.

I learned that at this age, I need to pace myself.

I learned that there is such a thing as true potato seed, and I'm looking forward to trying it out.
I learned that I am always learning. Always.

1. Overthinking/researching can lead to paralysis and too many time delays which leads to doing nothing. This spring I feel confident to go more by my instincts and dive in.
2. I can finally see where the natural contours are on this piece of flat land because I've walked and walked it during and after all this rain we've had. The little mini pond locations have shown themselves.
3. That hugel beds work and I need more of them.
4. And most of all, doing my part to change the world in my own backyard matters. It doesn't seem like such an insignificant drop in the bucket anymore.

I'd never really thought about the nitrogen content of the water--my concern was potential contamination with bacteria (E. coli) and soap/detergent on my vegetable crops.
