More pollinators! It's exciting to see more diverse insect life in my garden now that we have more variety in plants. When we first moved here 2 years ago, the insect life pretty much consisted of ants and mosquitos. Between avoiding chemicals, planting more native plants, and doing more gardening in general, we now have cellophane bees, mason bees, bumble bees, and butterflies as well as a lot more other types of insects. It's been exciting to watch the change.

I already know how to sew a little bit (though mostly new things rather than mending). However, I think I could use a few classes on how to better mend so I can learn a few tips or tricks to make it a bit easier/come out better. I've mostly just been trying to figure out myself. 

I'm hoping my vegetable garden will be a good excuse to get outside more during the day and provide a nice source of accomplishment.  It's already been a good form of bonding between me a my son and other members of the family.
