Not much specific yet. I'd like to find some oak trees, and more sunchokes would be good. I did decide to put in some bee flowers near the bee tree. A lot depends on what I find in catalogs.

That's the idea. It's a timebinding technique.

Good luck on all of this. May I add you to my friends list? I'd love to follow your progress.

Date: 2022-02-26 04:10 am (UTC)Yay! That's good to hear.
>> Excellent application of SMART goals :D
I don't map them out formally, but I started adding details like "do X times" or "do for one month" as a way to tell when an ongoing one was done. The year-long goals I close out at the end of the year, but I like having shorter ones to feel more accomplished.
>> Good luck with your 2022!! <<
Thanks! It's going pretty well, despite some emotional upheavals and weather delays.
