Friday and I'm Board...

I stopped at Home Depot after work to get a 2x12 pine board, some spikes and some vegetable seeds, all for my raised bed garden. I had quite a discussion with myself over purchasing this one or one that was treated. In the end, I decided that a 2x12 is a pretty good chunk of wood and odds are I'll be dead and gone before it rots.

I got home, changed clothes and went outside with the board.

I put it in the middle of the raised bed and spiked it down (through the top and into the 4x4). Now I can theoretically reach all the vegetable plants. I was pleased, so I took a couple of pictures and will post them.

Next, I planted my rows of leaf lettuce, peas, green onions, radishes and spinach. It's probably too late now for the peas and leaf lettuce, but we'll see. If so, I'll replant for fall.

Done in the back, I got out the "Garden Weasel" and worked up the front flower garden. I was going to get the plants for it Saturday when Carla and I go to Blocks for her (and my) vegetable and herb plants. But, now, looking at it, I think I need to add some compost from out back to raise the dirt level first (sigh).

I went inside and cleaned up. I did a load of laundry and putzed around doing this and that, until I realized it was after 9:00 PM, I was hungry and the Friday Night Fights were on. I grabbed a plate of tuna salad and moved to the bedroom. I fell asleep around 10:30 PM, but not to worry, the show is being taped and I'll catch the rest over the weekend.
