I'm a layyyzy

So, I haven't blogged in a while because it's been fairly boring out in the garden so far. I was actually getting worried about the raised beds because they weren't really showing up anything that I seeded. Finally, I'm starting to see some green! Hopefully, we'll have some nice moderate temps for a while so the lettuce can get nice and yummy. I'm waiting for them to get big and strong and then will add mulch into those beds. It gets tiresome to water every other day and the strawberry bed is doing really, really well with it's mulch cover. The plants are taking hold beautifully and didn't seem to be harmed by our brief cold snap (screw your "karma" Nikki!!) Today was a day for seeding some tomato plants (a little bit late, but better than never). Next year, I think I may just go buy plants and stick them in the ground. Seems the lazy way to do it. Everything else is going to be direct-seeded because I don't have the trays for everything. We'll see how it goes even if it is really recommended to seed inside, I'm going to be a rebel. Cuz I'm WILD like that. I love living on the edge.

Nothing too exciting going on except that we had two really big trees in the front of the house removed. They were ugly ol' cedars and Paul hated them. I wasn't really on board with chopping them down because I'm a tree-hugger but he won the round and the trees are gone. I hate (always) to admit that he was right, but the house looks so much cleaner and neater and there's tons more light everywhere. We plan on putting some much smaller flowering trees in place of them but we aren't sure what yet. We're still exploring our options and I think we may get the old path fixed up first. It looks awful now that it's not being hidden by the trees. I'll try to post some pictures of the before and after if I can find a before (which I don't think I have). Paul salvaged some chunks of the trees and plans on making some benches. And as an interesting side note, I'll have to take some pics of my miracle mystery plants. More are popping up and they are getting HUGE. No flowers yet, so no idea what the hell they are.

That's pretty all for now since I'm terribly exciting like that.

PS We're having a sleepover guest for the next couple of days. The dogs are especially excited for Remy to come visit. She's my friend's dog and we're watching her tomorrow until Sunday. I got your bed ready Remy!
