quickly updating
I’m such a forgetful dork. My grand plan was to get my garden in the ground (err boxes) on Saturday. This plan was foiled my my own forgetfulness. You’d think that I’d be used to it by now, but its still a bit upsetting. See, I start all my plants at the parents place in their really cool sunroom. Lots of sheltered place for the little guys. When I drove out on Saturday to get my stuff, I totally forgot that they were going to be out of town. I’d left my keys sitting on the shelf at home. #$%&*@@! Perhaps it was better that way. Easter sunday was rainiy & cold all day, so that probably wouldn’t have been good on the tender new plants anyway…
SO and I spent Sunday together though. They showed up early and we took the dogs to the park before the rain started. After that, it was a quickie trip to WaffleHouse for a nutritious (ha!) breakfast and a trip by the craft store for some scrapbooking junk. We talked about a lot of stuff, and I feel like we may be making progress. They’ve stayed at the house since then so I really feel good about that. I think we’re all sleeping better being together as a family. I can actually get rest instead of just feeling like a zombie all the time. It’s really nice. I know that all the furrkids are happy too. It’s really crazy to see how much different they act when SO is around. Much more bounding and playful. I guess having the pack split up is really hard on them too.
I got off a little early today, so I ran out to mom & dads to pick some of my plants. I grabbed all the tomato plants, the peppers, and my spearmint. It’s all in the ground now, and I’m already dreaming of fresh salsa & mojitos. I can’t wait! The tomato crop is a bit more varied this year with 2 sweet 100 plants, 8 italian tree tomato plants, and 2 climbing triplcrop tomatos. 2 of those are new for me this year, so I’m pretty excited to see how they do. Dad planted a few too, but I bet mine will be WAYY better. LOL! I’ve still got a few empty squares, so I’ll be putting in some more lettuce, some bush green beans, and some daisies in a couple more weeks. I like to stagger that stuff so I can push the harvest out a little longer. Tomatos seem to produce forever around here though, so I normally don’t need to do that.
