Overwhelmed in Summer, not winter?

I know exactly what you mean. I feel the greatest need to grow when the circumstances are the absolute worst for it. This year has been incredibly odd - I've been looking at so many gardens whilst looking for a house to buy, with no time to do anything in my own, tiny garden... then moved to a new house late July and spent nearly a month here now. The garden is so big and a bit intimidating to get started on, and I have so much to do in the house that... however much I've been craving to do gardening, I've not actually done anything at all yet.
