instant garden, just add water

I know it s been quite a few weeks but we finally made our garden more than just talk. Over spring break Kylee and I were outside working on the new beds while the weather was warm(and inside working on new spring decor).

I'm surprised how well the wooden retaining walls held up better than I expected and we found plenty of cinder blocks around the apartment building to fill in gaps and steps. We would not have finish the whole project before school started if Kevin and Melanie, our neighbors, hadn't helped us. So now we have three times the space we had last year and it only cost $20.

so far we have planted lettuce, radishes, peas, and onions. more planting to follow, pending on the weather. I've planned out a layout for the entire garden square foot by square foot, but we will see just how closely that is followed. Gardening is a science, but it is also an art.

Meet Hermes

Hermes is our previous neighbors cat. 

Our neighbor recently moved and left him behind. {He ran away}

He was our outside pet for about 2 weeks, until his owner came back for him.

There were some good and bad things about this situation.

I found out that I was allergic to cats.

I found out how much I dislike cats.

I found that I like having something depend on me and keep me company.
