My Dirty Dirty Habit

I developed a little habit a decade or so ago. It has grown to be a bigger and more elaborate habit. I know it can be a problem if I let it get out of control but I don't want to stop or slow down.

I buy a lot of dirt.

Sometimes the dirt comes with stuff growing in it, usually not. I buy containers for the dirt and throw in some seeds of this and that. I grow some flowers to pretty up the front yard but it's edibles that really fuel my fire. I didn't have enough space to start many seeds last year so I bought this little greenhouse. It was on sale, it has four shelves and keeps the seedlings warm and reduces the need to water.


This year I encountered a little problem. Stuff is growing too fast. I want to grow more. I want a bigger greenhouse that I can put outside and won't get blown over by a strong wind! (it happened last year...tragic) I am not bothered by the fact that I have more plants than I have room to put them.

My mind races like that of an addict. I want, I need. I can easily justify my collection. I can plan many ways to get my hands on it. The kids don't need shoes that fit do they? They have a roof over their heads and will have an abundance of vegetables to eat all summer long. I just want to grow things!

Is there anyone out there with a cool head who can help me??? I need more space to grow things and I need more dirt. Don't get me started on compost, mulch, manure. It's sick to want to go buy bags and bags of shit. Who does that? I have a dirty dirty habit...



If there are any enablers out there who would like to pay me to grow anything for them, let me know. Specific edible or flower. No illegals, sorry. If anyone is particularly handy and can design or help build a greenhouse on a tiny budget that will fit in my yard, I will grow you many many wonderful things.
