PronounsShe/her
Which of the following growing things or green spaces are under your care?
  • Container garden
  • Outdoor potted plant
  • Tree
  • Other
If you selected “Other” above, please elaborate:I have multiple bulb flowers that I maintain = Tulips, Crocus' (just like your background picture) my Trees are both Apple...in huge clay pots till I can plant permanently.
What lawn or garden chore do you find the most difficult, challenging, tedious, unpleasant, etc., and why?Challenging is protecting my organic yard for the Community owners site me for too many trees and Too Wild looking yard...WHAT? Anyway they cut down most of my beautiful Pine, Maple, Spruce trees that gave me shade in the heat of summer along with giving all the wildlife a place to rest or hide.
What’s your favorite thing to grow, and why?Ahh... all of my flowers and fruit trees are my favorites! Its such a joy to just sit outside and witness them bud, flower and then bloom each season/year.
What emotions do you experience when you think about downsizing?I always wanted to create and then maintain a large Victory Garden as I had grown up with these huge gardens. My family then shared with the community our abundance (similar to the Farmers Markets so popular today). Yearly gatherings to hay and harvest with shared canning events kept a pure sense of belonging, Community and the markers of the changing seasons.
Fear, sadness and some frustration are some of the emotions now for myself to downsize under todays economics and aging in place...I will have to go smaller.
When do you expect to downsize your living arrangements?I am seeking to downsize by this coming Fall of 2023.
How would you feel about having to give up 50% or more of your current possessions in a downsizing move?
Piece of cakeNeutralCompletely overwhelmed
Complete this phrase: “Spring is _.”"Spring is in the air...
Flowers are blooming
Bees are zooming ...
So beware...:)
Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s).Regarding the prior question regarding clearing 50% of my belongings I was unable to mark Overwhelm because you both have taught me the keystone habits that support me in clearing my clutter every day as I "stage" my new life upcoming. I sense I am in-between Neutral now to Overwhelm.
OK that I am between these 2 markers on your survey this week?
Otherwise, Thank you Gayle and Ed. Bless', Marsh.
