Some time between 2015 and 2018 I developed an interest in gardening. Gardening for me involves caring about plants, insects, and the climate overall. The posts usually come organically after I realize I’ve been taking a lot of photos of a particular subject or notice something of particular interest. I don’t have the focus or energy to put together many longform essays right now so these posts keep me writing in the hope that my skill will be ready when I do have something more to say. Also, in the vein of Shopclass as Soulcraft or Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, I do have a sense that the work with plants and observations of nature will give me fresh perspectives on other areas of my life.
