I remember when I first left my career to stay at home with my children and I decided to start a garden. I got so caught up in "success" (which was to me, enough veggies to eat and preserve) that it became stressful rather than calming. A nice salesperson at a garden store picked up on my anxiety and said to me "There are no mistakes in gardening, only growth." That really helped. After that I realized that even if I never grew enough to can for the winter, the fact that my kids saw my sugar snap pea trellis as an outdoor snack bar and I that was connecting with nature was enough.
