grow things

Bunnies ate my parsley and mint! That’s okay, I think I can bring them back – just need to move them up where they can’t be reached.

My snapdragons are dying, too, but it’s been abnormally hot the last few days and I didn’t water them (oops). It’s pouring rain today and I’m hoping that will revive them a little!

I could get philosophical and talk about the peace found in dirt and sunshine, or how it’s time to balance some of my consumption. Those things are both true. But at the heart of the matter – I just don’t want to be the neighbor with the crappy yard anymore, and I haven’t done anything but mow grass since I reached adulthood.

I’ve already potted some snapdragons (which were wilting this morning – hope I can fix that), and planted herbs, tomatoes, strawberries, spinach and zinnias. I need to finish weeding the flowerbed, plant my hostas, find a place to plant my rhododendron, and get my carrots and beans planted.
