I do not in anyway claim to be an expert you can clearly see my garden slabs are in disrepair with weeds growing and piles of things that need cleaning away, but my partner has gone back to work and Winnie is 5 months old and if I want to keep on top of the day to day maintenance of the garden well I have to strap her into her papoose.
I am finding more and more I only succeed at jobs I’m doing if I put a little bit of energy into planning, my already exhausted brain is struggling but if I really want to do something I try and prep first, I find the seeds I want to sow, buy the containers, find the compost bag, work out what I have to do before I start a task because sometimes there is such a small window of calm between feeding that it’s just the way forward.
Winnie is currently 5 months old well tomorrow she is 5 months old so she is still needing me to be with her constantly, so the papoose is ideal, ours is a babybjorn I’ve promised myself I won’t get it too dirty but I’m a messy human we do have a hand me down one from a friend that I do need to try out that wouldn’t matter if I got too dirty.
She’s restless from time to time and I dont garden in the heat but she can lay on a blanket under an umbrella when big jobs require both my hands, but for now watering, planting seeds and a little weeding can be done with her attached to me.
