Ok, rant
over, we’re done with it, let us do what we do best and wait a little longer.
So after the disappointing phone call, what better thing to do than plant a
garden! And yes, we did run out of space. That was practically a given when you
consider we were working to include 400+ tomato plants in the design. Hahaha!
It always makes me laugh when I think about what we were trying to do. The
whole process went relatively smoothly which was nice. We started with our plot
behind the garage and was able to fit maybe 70% of what we had. We decided to
leave out the asparagus and pumpkin, we planted maybe half of our peas and
carrots, and probably got about 100 tomato plants in the ground. So after we
recognized our lack of space we brainstormed where to put what we still wanted
to plant, which were some more tomato plants, watermelon, and beans. David came
up with the idea to create our new landscape out of vegetables! I think because
I never considered it in my head prior, I initially had a hard time agreeing
with that idea. But after considering our other options, which were none, it
seemed only appropriate. We’re both really curious to see if anything grows. I
think it’s the first time gardener doubts. We still had more tomato plants
left, so I threw a few in pots and tossed the rest.

I moved onto staining
the trim, which after putting on the first coat seems way too light. I know
more coats will darken it up, but I don’t think there’s any chance this
particular stain will reach the color to match the existing trim. I’ll put
another coat on tomorrow and assess its potential then. While I stained, David
continued with getting the rest of the trim done. That was about all the
progress for the day since we wrapped up a little early and then left for small
group.
