Gardening, Day 1.5

[mousme]

Okay, so today I've been going at the garden in earnest. I started a little under two hours ago and now have turned the earth in two of the raised beds. Since moonandtree and his father took care of one and a half of the beds last weekend, that leaves one half of a raised bed and both beds on either side of the garden.

The rain has mostly held off. I had a few scattered raindrops while I worked, but I glared at the sky, ordered it to stop, and it did. So, bonus!

I am taking a break now, lest I kill myself my first day of gardening. Then I'm going back to deal with more of the beds (the side ones are the worst of the lot, unfortunately), and cut back the daffodils whose blooms have already wilted. The tulips are out!


I went to Atwater Market this morning and acquired a whole bunch of seedlings. I don't know if I'll be able to plant them today, but if I can't today then I'll do it either tomorrow or Tuesday morning.

I have no idea how ai731 did all this on her own. Mind you, maybe it would be easier if I wasn't working eighty-hour weeks...

Right now I'm going to figure out something for lunch, and then head back out. The only good part about this weather is that I'm not dying of heat while trying to dig out my beds.

The other good thing about the weather is that rain is great for gardens.
