My garden is growing!

All my veggies are planted. I really don't know what I'm doing and so this fall is really a test of what is going to do well with the arrangement I have planted them in. I don't know if they are too close together or what. I know that I need to continue amending the soil and add more expanded shale and compost. But, I know that I have enough sun and the soil is getting better.

Right now the front garden is mostly veggies and herbs. In the past it was a good mix of color and veg. But, the veggies are taking over. I need more room. I think I am going to create raised beds in the back with cinder blocks. Then, in the holes on the blocks, I can plant herbs and color and companion plants. Plus, the dogs can't chew cinder blocks. With a garden in the back, the dogs will have the mega important job of keeping the squirrels away!!



Oh...MY...GOSH!

This tree down the street fell into the neighbor's drive. The tree fell at the roots and when you look down their is a huge hole that looks like it goes down a ways. It's freakin' crazee! Nobody was hurt. But, the person who's house it is was getting ready to leave. Her kids were at the front door and she heard a strange noise and looked outside and watched as the tree fell. the car next door was DEMOLISHED! had anyone been inside it, they'd be dead now. Plus, they can't get out their front door. The tree didn't hurt the house though. So at least that is good. Plus, they will definitely get a new car. They had a Lexus SUV. The small one. Not that it matters now. It's a pancake.

I must admit, though. After looking at the house for a minute. I kept thinking that now they have full sun in their front and they could grow veggies and herbs. I am sick. Horrible.

Plus, as I was staring at it talking to a neighbor, there was a wreck at the end of the street. What the uh-uh-F is going on?!
