I did it - gardening
Yesterday I said I was going to go to menards and look into buying growing bags, and try to grow a late crop of vegetables that would still grow. I found these black bags, and bought six of them. In the four you see here I planted a potato that I found in my kitchen growing eyes. From what I read online the potatoes need at least two eyes formed. This potato had 8 so I was able to cut it into pieces and plant them.
In the other two blog bags I decided to give beets and onions a go. Not sure if they will work out because I am starting from seeds, but all I can do is try. If I don’t try, I won’t know. I also have a pot that I transplanted some plants Brad had growing in the house. Not really sure what they are and how much space they need, so again……we will see what happens.
Now is a funny that happened in the store. I was shopping and had my earbuds in. Suddenly I see out of the corner of my eye some guy talking to me, so I pop out an earbud and he asks me if I need any help (I check…..he isn’t a worker), and I told him I was doing alright by myself. He then tells me he will be around if I need his help, and that I was pretty. Ummmm, does that pick up line really work????? Every single time I looked up he was still standing there at the end of the aisle. It was actually kind of creepy.
Of course, I ended up buying way too much. This was my cart by the time I left the store. Six cloth bags for planting in, eight bags of top soil, and two very large bags of potting soil. I thought this stuff was going to kill me as I tried to load it into the car. Thankfully when I got home I got help from Brennan and Genavieve. They carried everything to the back yard.
Next year I will do all of this right and will have a raised garden with a cute path going down to my garden……I can’t wait, and I just hope Brad can turn my vision into a reality. I told him what I want, and now it is up to him to figure out how to make it work.
