attention span of a gnat

 
(albeit I'm assuming that's very short, but what do I know)

Remember a number of days ago I posted a picture of my first harvest from the garden? A glorious sunburst squash?

Well, I've harvested maybe 4 since then. AND a tomato.

Any pics? Any celebration?

Nope.

I'm much better and planning and planting and nurturing the garden into maturity. CRAZY about cotyledons. LOVE leafy things. DIG the dirt.

Very bad at harvesting.

Ho hum.

Just not super interesting to me.

So, that got me to thinking; why?

Maybe we need the drive to plant and grow and nurture, but presumably our tummies would hurry along the harvesting. As opposed to today, where people pay other people to help them eat less and burn off what they do eat.

I'm thinking maintaining interest in harvesting, say, 3000 years ago (or even today, just not my house), when your life depended upon it, was not the dilemma.

Not starving was.

hm.

Guess I'll go install that drip irrigation system now.
