I only do chaos gardening now.
My seedlings didn’t do well this year but there seems to be a bunch of tomatoes, cucumber plants and red mustard growing all over. All of them in very inconvenient spots. But it’s happening and they are here to stay now.
I don’t know why this cucumber plant is so big though. I didn’t even know they could get to that size.
My other garden bed is an absolute free for all. I just threw a bunch of wildflower seeds from a nearby trial, a seed mix to attract hummingbirds, yellow clover and beans in there. Whatever happens, happens.
I’m pretty sure my dad hates it because there’s so many “weeds” in there. I think it’s pretty and there’s always so many bugs hanging out there.
Chaos gardening is life! I did a research experiment last year on a plant that is native to my state, but has largely been eradicated by local ranching and farming practices. I’ve fucking delighted in finding chaotic people who are willing to throw whatever remaining seeds I have wherever they can. If that’s the power we have, let’s use it!
