Random randomness

Kendra and I were out driving running errands today and there was a guy at a bus stop in a leather jacket that looked so much like JDM that we both turned and blinked.

My sister's in jail.  If she did what they're saying she did (posession with intent to distribute) I can sort of understand because she's got 2 kids and there' no work where she is and she's been unemployed for 6 months.

Garden happy!  Everything I planted so far has sprouted except the tomato seeds, and when I was at Lowes getting mulch today they had like 6 kinds of tomato plants and they were all big and healthy and happy looking so I took two home, one heavy-bearing and one early type.  So far I'm thrilled with my cat-littler-bucket container garden.  I've got enough weeds to pull from the lawn and flower beds without them in my veggies too.

Oh, and they had sweet basil and thai basil too so I grabbed those.  Might get another one or two sweet basil varieties so I can try making pesto.

Kendra helped me move the last of the bricks in the front yard and we got half of the new flower-bed area covered with curb-find carpet.  We figured there's no reason to try weeding up living sod when we can cover it and come back in a month and it'll be dead and easier.  Figure we'll pull up and cut out the carpet exactly where we want to put in plants and leave the rest for now.

Yay for gardening. We got some of the hail tonight, so I'll be checking the plants in the morning for damages. The front garden in all flowers and herbs, the back is the more edibles :)
I don't know if your town does this, but here in FTW we can go to the dump to pick up mulch for free. It's not as pretty true, but it is really handy when you have large numbers to mulch around, and I figure it breaks down the same right?

Eep! I was worried whe you said hail but I just went out and everything looks okay. And my cucumber seeds came up! :)

Some of our bulbs lost their flowers and one rose got a little shredded, but all the other plants seem to have survived well over here too :p Mother will have to check on the veggies, those aren't my forte.

Somehow I missed this comment. That book looks pretty cool. I'm gonna see if the library has it before I buy it, but thanks so much for the tip.
