Seeds of Madness
May. 31st, 2011 11:31 pmOkay, I may have gone a little nuts in the garden store today. I couldn't help it! I have so much more ground to put plants in now! And Dad turned the soil for me today--I think he's as excited as I am.
... On the other hand, I am the one sitting around cataloging the seeds and plants I bought (OMG PEPPERS! COLORFUL BEANS! PUNKINS!) and charting where I'll be putting them, so maybe not. I want to plant them already, but there are things to be done first--I started digging up the dandelion roots today and severely traumatized some earthworms, and tomorrow I'll finish that and try get my nice new dirt laid out.
I normally like dandelions, but that's when they're not in my vegetable garden space. However, I gotta tell ya, there is nothing like yanking out roots to make you feel like the god damn king of everything. Soon I will demand you call me Captain Vegetable, but for now, I may have blown out my knees and shoulders hauling those bags of dirt down all those stairs and tiers,* and I think I need some Advil.
I bought more thyme, too. It will work, dammit!
*And if you don't think I sang "I've got a bag of dirt" like Captain Jack Sparrow did in the second PotC, or spoke to said bags specifically so that I could address them as "dirtbag," you don't know me.
