In spite of the fact that I forgot about laundry on Friday (seriously–forgot!) and have two shirts left from being exhausted and crippled last week, I still planted the main flowerbed! It just needed to be raked, seeded, little compost thrown on and cat poop-proofed, so I’m not horribly far behind, and it’s done! Looks a little ghetto because I ran out of frost blanket and had to use chicken wire, but I’ll cover the wire with plastic when it’s cold at night this week. As for how it looks, fuck it–it’s done!
Yard looks pretty weird now; blobs of white everywhere.
I’ll edit this from my computer to list the things I planted in here; it’s too long to type on a phone.
