Hosted six guests who helped in the garden, and fed them hot dogs in exchange for hard labor.
Hoed, nailed, hammered.
Things planted include: peas, green beans, spinach, carrots, mixed greens, etc., along with the corn, squash, pumpkins and tomatoes we did last week. Also moved the tomatoes and cauliflower that I planted too close together.
Sunflower seeds were devoured by some critter and must be replaced. Prepared space for sunflowers.
Garden in good shape despite hail storm last week, must keep eye out for upcoming frost advisory.
Removed the wine bottles from the flower bed — a ridiculous idea that, while it looked good on paper, looks like a cheap, shitty attempt at lawn art. Also made us look like proud alcoholics even though most of the wine bottles were donated. Wine bottles are boxed and in the garage waiting to be taken to the recycling center.
Got compost bin lessons. Cleared out and repaired the compost bin. Ready to spread compost in the garden next time.
Witnessed epic H.O.R.S.E. battle in the driveway, where it was determined the husband and wife team need to hustle local parks. Some people are good at basketball without even trying, but then, we are in Indiana.
Convinced Chef that babies do not hate him. Held baby all day and got him to talk mad love to me. Then gave baby back to its parents.
Chef going to bed early after being run ragged by feral three-year-old who is now his best friend.
How is the gardening thing going?
Really well. Everything is growing well except the corn (had to trim back some trees to give them more sun and will replant).
