This week has been a wonderful reprieve from school. Finished with one course and eight weeks left to go in Grad. School, I hope (there is still some impending massive, ugly exit exam). So, first I wanted to revisit the ghost of Spring Break Past. This would inevitably include a drunken jaunt somewhere in Florida and probably involve my friends pulling me away from a sloppy fight with another drunken young woman...Since there are still no time machines I guess I'm screwed...
Anyway, I would rather be stung by a thousand Tracker Jackers rather than return to those days. It is true there is a season for every stage of life. Speaking of seasons, it is Spring, or Summer if your looking at the temp. 88 today whaaa? This Spring Break was filled with an amazing development. Obviously I read all three books in the Hunger Games Series. Next, I dug a small veggie plot in my backyard. It is small, but I have a great plan to get some serious yields from my wee little plot. I also have room for more veggie/herb combo plots along the side of my house, which I promise not to make ugly...
Shelby had a great time picking out her seeds. We went with early Spring Stuff: carrots, peas, radishes, lettuces. Later in the season we will do tomato, squash, cucumber. I have a good plan for cukes which involves the use of a trellis (refer to pic.) So I dug out the grass, back still sore. Mixed in some organic manure mix, added organic garden soil, mixed again, then put up a wire fence to keep the dog out. In the time I went to Lowes to pick up some stuff he had already taken a steaming dump right in the middle of the new garden...So the fence had to go up. I added an Army and POW flag and just to take the Victory garden theme a bit further, another patriotic yard flag. Let's hope something grows...
