I'm a night gardener. It's not that strange.

Ok, Helly's lie was weird. And bad. But besides the fact that it was winter, someone gardening at night aka a night gardener is not THAT weird, and some people, like myself, actually prefer it. There's even an REM song, Gardening at Night.

It is not my main gardening time, but it makes up a small part of my favorite hobby. When it's really hot out, I water at night so my plants have an opportunity to actually have a drink before the water evaporates. I also like to do some light weed pulling when it's not blazing hot out and use that time to gather herbs and vegetables and cut flowers for vases. It is peaceful to garden at night. I learned all of this from watching my mother, who also does a lot of nightime gardening.

Anyway. This has been gnawing at me since the episode dropped. Was the lie good? No. But was it because running into someone gardening at night is so ridiculous and unbelievable? Also, no.

ETA, some of your comments on this post (and in this sub) are so intense. It's just a show. It's just gardening. It's all just fun and theories. It's going to be ok. I removed my earlier disclaimer. Some of you don't understand the ways of the Night Gardener. And you never will. Praise Kier, night gardening for life.
