Have you ever tried to make something happen but everything goes in the opposite direction? And then try again and do everything that has to be done to fix things and another unpredictable obstacle comes forward? And keep trying until you realise that the universe is telling you something? Something like:
Forget it mate, this is never going to happen.
Well, something like that happened with the herb garden that 
Do you remember any of my previous posts about that herb garden?
It has been two years since we started working on it and after a lot of sweat, a lot of frustration and a lot of fruitless efforts, it is still at the beginning. I don't think that I can explain in words what has happened those two years and a task that shouldn't have taken more than six months, is still unfinished. But I can tell you now, with certainty, that it is not going to be finished any time soon, most probably never. At least not in they way we had envisioned and planned it.
This isn't necessarily bad news. Things happen (or don't happen) for a reason and if life is now drifting me in new paths, I will embrace the change and make the most out of it!
But what change am I talking about?
Am I too ambiguous?
Well the big news are that we moved from Crete to Nafplio. The distance is 395 km (245 miles) in straight line but the trip from the one place to the other involves driving, taking a ferry and some more driving witch means around 18 hours of traveling! As you may have guessed, our relation with our farm land is changing drastically!
We are not giving up on anything, on the contrary, but we have to figure out a way of incorporating our previous goals into our new life. In any case olive trees don't need our attention all year round and we are still planning to spend a few months of the year in Crete, mostly during the harvesting and the pruning period.
Maybe that's why we felt the need to go to the herb garden the last day before our move and work on it as if nothing has changed. Planting a few plants that we had in pots at the house that we left, continuing the mulching that we haven't finished and inspecting the herbs that we have already planted.
The marjoram and the rosemary are doing great, the verbena and the lemon balm are barely alive while the 1000 dictamnus plants that we had ordered never came and the plot that was designated for them remains empty and uncultivated.
