I was going to head out on the road for work this morning but after scanning my emails, I found it would be better to stay home and just head out to another event tomorrow- yous know what that means?! Great day to spend with the fam!
So yesterday in the mail I got a little package from DinnerGarden.org- this fun little organization that is trying to end hunger through gardening- and they sent me a TON of seeds to try! I don't remember if I signed up for them through a freebie site or it was from another mailing list I'm on but whatevs! Free. is ALWAYS better.
Every year I've tried to plant something in the garden but have usually been put off by the price of things at the Depot. And honestly, I'm kind of a mess with those details- I plant like a cook- dig around, throw some stuff together on a whim and a prayer. I have a serious miss-mash of junk that doesn't mesh well.
But...with a pack of FREE seeds what do I have to lose?
To go along with my gardening deficit, my outdoor skills are sub-par at best. I don't like to touch yard creatures such as worms and bugs. Also, we have toads living in our backyard. DOUBLE GROSS.
I got out my tools so I would touch less dirt and fewer worms and came up with this:
Happy weekend, dudes!

The cleared dirt spots are where I put the various seeds. I probably crowded the garden but...we'll play the wait and see game. I'll even try to take weekly pictures to keep up with the progress. If all goes well- I'm going to make a little donation to these dudes. Last year, I spent over $50 on an herb pot (long pot from above) and got NOTHING. This year, I spend $3 on a discount tomato plant at the grocery store.
Free is ALWAYS better.
On an 80s related note, please see the TV. Yup. That's Jem and the Holigrams you see in the background. On TV. There's an old cartoon channel. Score.
Happy weekend, dudes!
