Things have been a little busy around here lately, and unfortunately that means I'm a little behind in blogging. You'll have to forgive me for posting so much all at once. The weather has been pretty nice lately, so Ben and I have been sailing when we can and I've been keeping busy with getting the garden going (and sewing a lot too.)
I guess I'll start with some exciting news... I GOT A JOB! WA-HOO! I'll be starting at the end July as a customer service rep in a call center. It may not be my dream job, but I am very excited to start with such a great company. I mean, I love helping others and I'm a great talker, so who knows, maybe it'll end up being my dream job. In the meantime, I'll be spending the next two months squeezing in everything I can - unfinished sewing projects, gardening, sailing, traveling - before I start.
Anywho, onto the garden... Here's the finalized garden plot pre-planting:
I planted sugarsnap peas, Kentucky Wonder pole beans, and tendergreen bush beans on April 29th (I know, I know... I'm way overdue.) I used a garden fence as a trellis, it looked to be the best option for the best price.
I noticed the first serious sprouts on May 7th.
Here they are on May 10th. It's amazing how fast they grow!
It has lived in the garage for who knows how many years, so I thought I'd give it a face lift. Apparently a giant mushroom grew out of the knot in the chair back and made it into the local paper... I just couldn't throw that kind of story away! Here's a close up of my painting, I'm really pleased with how it turned out:
I also got a new gnome - and a great one at that! He was $0.99 at the Goodwill, my first real gnome find (you know, not from a garden store or JoAnn.) I named him Herbert. He is clearly the long-lost brother to Pan, our drunk gnome... Love it!
Ok, that's all for now... more soon, promise!
Happy Gardening!
Amanda
