Seeing my old sketchbook filled with garden plans hurts now.

I used to draw every plant layout by hand, full of hope. Now the garden is overgrown and my sketches are just paper. Don't let your own projects end up this way.

My Denver balcony garden sketchbook is just sitting in a drawer now. Those plans taught me more about light than any actual planting did. The hope in the sketches isn't wasted, it's just shifted.

Question why we're making such a big deal out of some old garden sketches. They're just drawings in a drawer that never became real gardens. Do we really need to turn every failed plan into a life lesson? Sure, you learned about light, but is that so deep? Most of us have piles of unused stuff like that, and it's no big thing. Why overthink a few pages of doodles?

@clark.cole's Denver balcony sketchbook comment changed my view on old garden plans. I used to see my sketches as failed dreams, but they actually record what I learned about soil and sun. Now I think those pages are part of the growing process, not just wasted paper.
