Happy Belated 4th of July!

SCREW YOU BLOGGER. YOU ARE THE WORST TEXT AND IMAGE-ENTRY PROGRAM I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH. WE HAD A WHOLE ENTRY TYPED OUT BUT IT GOT DELETED BY NO FAULT OF OUR OWN AND NOW WE'RE MAD! so here's the beginning that didn't get deleted and some pictures and a short list...


This is another double week entry, but with only one set of photos. First there's the 4th of July, then there's last weekend's update. The plants have LOVED the heat of the last few days and life is good.

Roses from the front yard. Delicate, sprawling, and pink pink pink. Joanna likes them a lot. "I do. They're pretty." - Jo

Jona and I spent all of the 4th of July in the garden and it was fantastic! We accomplished a lot, which is good because the garden desperately needed it. A hail storm hit that weekend and blasted through the rhubarb and knocked over some onions, though it didn't do much damage beyond that.

:(

Luckily, it's still producing new leaves and seems to be hanging in there.

 List:

• new black cherry tomato, eggplant, rosemary, and hungarian wax pepper
• seeded swiss chard, chives, parisian pickling cucumber, strawberries
• transplanted tons of basil -Pesto Party 2011! (PP11!)
• mysterious, anonymous tomato cage gift for zebra (probably jo's landlord)
• stuff has grown a LOT
• woodchip clandestine affair 2011! for compost pile and mulching and magic. for freeee
• jo weeded a ton
• tried red pepper flakes to keep pests from digging in our pots. kinda worked maybe? gotta try again
• pulled spinach mustard (flavorless and bolted)
• ate some beet leaves and onions! yum yum yum
• fertilized everything with worm poop from erica's bin
• poured in lots of l-o-v-e

 to recap: SCREW BLOGGER.
