As David said, "this is what happens when you work late."

Okay not really, but the comical part is that I was the ONLY CAR on that side of the aisle, and our across-the-hall neighbor backs right into me.

Not to mention he drives the smallest car in the lot, a tiny hatchback, so I am guessing he slammed on the gas when he meant to hit the brake. Its too bad we didn't witness it in action from our offices.

If it's not one thing, its another...

The garden project is moving forward!

David spent last Saturday putting the stone in the ground for our raised garden while I was in Fort Wayne for work - what a nice surprise!

Here is the david's handy work + 800 pounds of composted manure :)

The plants getting acquainted with the "real world" (i.e. wind, chill, heat, dark of night)


And the finished product!

I am sure the squash will take over the one end and I might have to remove/move them, but its a start! There are heirloom toms, sweet peppers, onions, marigolds, beans (ewww - but Sara said I had to plant beans), yellow squash, zukes and some squash plant that Sara couldn't remember what it was, so its a surprise!

The larger pot on the left is housing some grape tomato plants and the smaller one on the right is some extra marigold starts.

I am setting my expectations very low and will be happy if I get ONE tomato, ONE pepper and ONE type of squash. I keep telling David that next year it will be easier to get started because the infrastructure and dirt will already be in place.

A HUGE THANK YOU to sara & jenny for all working together on our seed planting and gardens - this is for sure an annual tradition! (next year with mexican food and margaritas, right ladies??)

Does anyone need some starts? I have 8 various squashes, 4 heirloom tomatoes and 3 sweet peppers.
