gardening update: IT'S AWESOME. i mean, not everything i planted worked out -- turns out zucchini squash needs way more room than i provided -- but i'm still just so fascinated that i'm able to grow anything at all. and EAT IT! i've had countless fresh salads because lettuce is the easiest thing in the world to be successful at. the fresh cilantro was great, i've got peas comin' in like woah, tomatoes are on their way, and we might even get a strawberry or two... if we can get to it before the local wildlife figures it out. the last time i posted about my gardening ventures i only had access to pots. well, big things have happened since then. kyle and i put some major work into his side lot, taking it from this:
...to this!
we dug up the grass, laid the brick, and i put in a big ol' planter box. i was able to put the peas and beans next to it straight into the ground (his landlord had a ton of compost, without which this would not have been possible). it's really comin' along -- just needs some different furniture and tiki torches!
peas and beans!
baby tomatoes! they're about the size of plums right now. exciting stuff.
that is all for now. i feel like i'm falling behind a little on the rest of the list... hmm what to cross off next?

Nice work lady! My lil' garden is doing well too. Look at us, ladies who garden! For your next thing to cross off, I vote for things I can help with. :) How about #7, #24, #25 or #64?
i'd be down for any of those things, but especially the cake because i KNOW i will need the help! and hey, my own birthday isn't too far off...
