Still Waiting

So, on Tuesday I skipped my garden and planted some pansies.

On Wednesday we turned over a bit more soil.

Thursday and Friday were a little chilly and I was busy with some other things, so we didn't get out.

This morning, Adam and I went and got our hoses sorted out. I wanted the longer one at the front of the house and I had an old broken hose reel I needed to get all untangled. I did most of this with Adam on my hip because there's a pesky little black cat who has figured out he scares Adam and loves to come freak him out. Despite his making my gardening task a bit more difficult by terrifying my toddler, I enjoy this little "diddy dat." Charming personality and some good company.

I still need to finish preparing my bed. The weather doesn't have use below freezing again in the 10-day, so I'm hoping my seeds will arrive this week and sometime in the next couple I can get them in the ground.

I'm going to try to come up with first draft plan for planting tomorrow and run it by my mom. I hope to also do some reading about composting. My friend Shannen sent me some good links. I'd like to try to compost without buying special equipment, but I have to read up and see what will work.
