BOO YA!

WE HAVE VEGGIES FOLKS!....or at least the start of them.

I worked in my garden for a bit tonight, weeding around what I have already planted. Since it's been non-stop rain, snow, and gross I haven't been out to check on my garden in a bit. I was pleasantly surprised to find my onions doing very well, I planted both red and yellow. I've got garlic sprouting (? I don't know the technical term for these things), chives and parsley. Now mind you I planted about 10 potatoes and I have two plants growing, I planted so many with the guarantee that more than half would fail. I planted some treats for my kitties in a pot, "cat grass" and it's sprouting up nicely. I found rhubarb growing in my yard, but I had nothing to do with that.

The only causality so far to what I've planted has been my radishes. Trial and error, this was definitely an error. Two things wrong with the radish situation: one, I planted them too close together and two, it f'ing snowed and killed off what was growing. I have a handful of broccoli plants planted and something is eating them, the leaves are half eaten. I also, noticed tonight that a few of my onions were out of the ground. I believe a mole is to blame because it looked like they were pushed out of the ground from the bottom up. I know for a fact that we have at least one mole because I looked down and it was on my SHOE!!! I freaked out and just swung my leg sending it flying across the yard. *I hope I didn't hurt the little thing... :(*

*An update on the dog poo situation. Nothing has changed, I planted a short row of carrots tonight and found a little treat when I was hand tilling the soil. It's was an unwanted buried treasure, a little warm pile of feces nestled into the soil. This dog (pretty sure I know exactly what dog it is too!) thinks it's hilarious. "I'm gonna hide this dookie here and she'll find it later, maybe even stick her hand in it....he he!"

Touche puppy, I always wear gloves so in your face!
