The Obsessive Neurotic Gardener

  • About me
Posted on October 28, 2010 by jmarkowski Posted in Uncategorized .

I’ve written about my neuroses when it comes to garden design and how I find myself rarely satisfied. Maybe “rarely satisfied” isn’t an accurate term. I think, like most gardeners, I just enjoy the challenge of trying to find a more pleasing combination or the excitement of trying something new. It is what makes gardening what it is – an incredibly rewarding and frustrating process – but never dull.

And sometimes, a simple addition or re-arrangement can keep me going for a long time. Case in point, the photo below is an area near my garage, an area I pass by every time I get home from work:

A recent addition of three Acorus gramineus ‘Oborozuki’ (oh how I loved typing that) or sweet flag, just makes me happy when I see it each day. I can’t describe why I love it so much, I just do. I’ll want to change it or add more in the future, but for now, I am digging it. A simple pleasure that gardening gives me each day.

Speaking of simple pleasures, when the kids get along and just do “kid things”, that’s also a pretty damn simple pleasure.
