speedy service

well ,the water people seem to have fixed my problem already, so tomorrow will be spent in the glorious sunshine.
i love having a yard, maybe this year i can expand the garden, i wonder if i should ask the owners of this house first, or maybe i should get a plot in the community garden, i've had a plot in a community garden before in chicago, but i never had much follow thought in those days, so maybe this time it will work out better, but i should start with my yard first.

getting ahead of my self

today we went to callahans just so gus could check the place out and i end up taking home some hardware fabric( to make a compost screen) , onion seedlings and a few seed potatoes.
unfortunately i can't plant anything because i think we have a water main leak making the garden plot a bit muddy, and we have to wait for the city to come by and look at it before i can do anything.
blerg

at least i got to go to callahans and get extra excited for growing things, and then canning them.

spring?

texas weather as always is a bit insane, today it hit 90 degrees and it's not yet march. it disturbs me a little , ok more than a little.
but i'm not going to dwell on it ,well ,not here.
good news!, my garden is partially laid out, i'm trying out the square foot gardening method, it already feels as if i'll have a better garden than last year. i learned a lot from my gardening mishaps of last year.for example, start earlier than april, i already have tomatoes and coosa squash sprouted. i think i'm going to start some other seeds tomorrow.
also! my brother is getting married in june, thats right before his big sister!
but it's cool, i get go go wedding shopping with my future sister in law ( who i love), my mom and my aunt.
yea! i'm so excited.
