Back in the 10th grade I had a teacher, Mrs. Weber, who triumphantly told my class that, "Procrastination is the thief of time.". While that statement has haunted me many a times as I pulled all nighters or late nighters before a big test, event, etc there is one time that she was wrong. Yesterday.
We've had a warm winter and a warm spring. Many days of 80 degrees followed by colder days of 60 or so. None of which are too cold for most plants. I was planning on planting my tomatoes, peppers and the like early this year thinking I would be in the clear. However, Sunday into Monday parts of PA got blasted with snow and not just a little, but a LOT! We were forecasted to get 6 inches and we got zero, but the air was cold and the rain was sleety.
Since I procrastinated putting my seeds to dirt, I never did get to plant early as I wanted. But you see here is where I win because by procrastinating, I saved time and money! I saved money by not having to buy more seeds or plants and time by not having to redo my garden. So take that Mrs. Weber! Us procrastinators aren't always wrong!
