Spent last weekend building a garden with my family. My seven sibs showed up, including Kathy from NYC along with granddaughter Crissy! Katz was a trouper, my boys were there and some hard working in-laws pitched in, too. It took a good part of the day and turned out pretty good. I've attached some photos to show off the end result!
I'm doing something called Square Foot Gardening in my new garden, so that means we even made our own dirt recipe and planting space is maximized. It is all very hip and happening. (Oh dear. Hip and happening is so not hip and happening, am I right?)
My dilemma is this SFG needs to be planted, and now is the time. So, for the next two weeks, I've changed my priorities and my writing is being put on the back burner. I say this with a healthy dose of guilt, but the pull of the garden is pretty strong and the window of time is limited.
So forgive me and don't give up on me. I'll try to keep in touch, blog-wise, and I'll be back working on Chapter 5 after Memorial Day. Wish me a green thumb, good days for planting and garden tending, and a few decent rain showers.

This is really cool Peggy, I'd love to hear more about this! Forward to my Mom, as she may be interested as well. Keep digging!
For clarification - "I" forwarded this to my Mom! :)
Well, it's half planted now. So far I've put in potatoes, asparagus, Swiss Chard, carrots, onions, leeks, radishes, red and green cabbage, two kinds of basil, culinary sage, cauliflower, and cucumbers. Flowers so far include dahlias, calla lilies, and salvia. And I'm exhausted . . .
Thanks for commenting, Heather. Why don't you and your Mom come and visit?
