Pain Grows in a 5'x5' Garden!

That's right! I hand tilled my garden. I already have chayanne peppers and tomatoes ready to plant (4 plants each). The PX doesn't have anything else other than squash and... While I'm fairly certain I like squash, it's not something I'm willing to baby just yet. I am going to keep an eye out for some radishes, cucumber, strawberry and carrots! Then our veggie garden (and fruit) will be complete! out of the probable 10sq feet of garden area, only 5sq feet are tilled for planting. The rest is going to be covered in gravel and then have potted flowers placed on top. The reason for this is that the rest is in a high drainage area and we want to be able to keep plants alive, not drown them. Besides, it'll look nice. Keep in mind the AC unit is in the middle of that area as well, so that was taken into account as well. It's quite amusing, the bug zapper (which is on a small bo-peep rod) works as kind of a garden light. It actually looks decent! I was somewhat surprised.

I think the parts of the garden that borders the fence is going to end up being the decoration portion... You know... Gnomes and statues... (You think I'm kidding!?). I also want a waterfountain somewhere around there... Probably behind the AC unit. It sounds weird, I know, but the unit is low enough that a nice sized fountain would still be very visible and the spiket is right there as well. We're also going to do dual bo-peep rods (bigger ones, like 4-5ft high) for a bird house, bird feeder and hanging flower plants. Basically our backyard is going to be very inviting!

The only thing we'll need to get at that point is a patio set. We're kind of attempting to be the summer party house, if you can't tell. Besides the fact that the day after our wedding and reception we're going to host a small cook out for family that remained in town. Hopefully we'll either have patched out couch, or got it reuphulstered by then... The gaping wound from Zoey isn't really that visually attractive.

Other than that... I've just been working on getting the final decorating of our house done. We've come a long way, but we still have a lot to go. My parents re-gave me my old bedroom set, so the master bedroom has a dresser now, and chest. The one guest room is now fully ready to start housing guests. The guest room has a full sized bed and dresser, along with floor lamp. The 2nd guest room is... A work in progress, we'll say. It has our dual bookshelves, filing cabinet, tv stand and tv in it... It also has Zoey's crate. We're thinking of making that room more of an office type room so I think the last little thing it needs is a futon.

Other than that.. Not much else is happening right now, save for a lot of planning and money crunching. I need a new job.

Over and out.
