In the garden pt. 1

Yesterday was our first day in the garden - oh how I've missed it! We have prepped the small bed and half of the big guy. In the latter, we've planted lettuce, spinach, kale, cabbage and carrots - all of those are cold hardy so that if we have a last rush of cold air, they'll be fine. Whilst prepping the small bed, I rediscovered some horseradish that I planted last year. I transferred that to a pot where it won't be disturbed by the corn that we're going to plant in that bed.

I also did quite a bit of repotting yesterday. Boris the Badass beanstalk now has his own pot and doesn't look happy about it. He's become very saggy so I worry that he isn't happy and will die soon. Alas. I also repotted about 15 little tomato plants and did some thinning in the seed starter. I'm very worried about the seeds that haven't sprouted yet and shall assume that they just aren't going to grow. Damnit.

Yesterday was also my first trip to Menards in months. A small secret: I have a dirty obsession with Menards. I love that store. I could spend all my time and money in there and never have regrets. I can't explain it. It's probably linked to taking trips there with my dad as a kid and I hated it. I would be so bored and he wouldn't let me bring a book (I was book obsessed as a child) - I hated it. Now, that place calls to me like a siren. And! We have to go back next weekend for more soil!
