And the beautiful weekend continued...
May. 4th, 2009 12:21 pmAs if Friday weren't gleeful enough, Saturday the very lovely
whipartist, whom I hadn't seen in ages, stopped by the house and we all trooped out to the local Thai place for lunch. She brought, as she put it, a member of her harem with her, a lovely man who chatted amiably about being out of work and looking for a new job and all the stresses that go with it and gave me more good ideas for where to look. It was glorious seeing her again; I had found the "admission bracelet" from a party we'd attended, lo, 15 years ago, and good grief, other than the pink hair she hasn't changed much at all.
After that, Omaha, Kouryou-chan, Lisakit and I all headed up to Seattle Tilth, where we arrived with only ten minutes to spare. Ten minutes was all we needed, however, to get all the basil plants and stupice tomato plants we wanted. We carted them home, and worked on cleaning out the garden to get more space.
I don't think we're going about the gardening correctly. We really ought to go with a kind of square-foot gardening ideal, where we start with soil more or less guaranteed to be weed-free, but we don't have that luxury with the retaining wall o' doom as our container.
