planting day !!! (well sort of)

   elder and i were walking around the yard surveying the frost damage this morning and strolled out to the patch, where he promptly hooked up the disk and marked my rows ....

and here he is on the first pass...

so then I proceeded to start planting -- one hill at a time, until he showed up to help and 2 hours later all of the pumpkins and squash were planted ... gotta love the row markers....

like kids standing crooked in line -- i'm sure the rows are crooked too and frankly i think too close together it's going to be a tangle of vines -- he's hoping it will choke out the weeks....(not)

my poor garden shoes filled up with sand -- it was like walking on marbles (they're mesh) .. but at least no mud .... and well, my body hurts bending over 600 times can do that -- next up will be the watermelons, canteloupe and fancy stuff (wacky squash & gourds) but that will be later in the week or even next weekend... lots to do on 3rd street this week. 

Gotta meet the due date for Non Profit Returns -- after all work pays for our hobbies.  The diva's of Moore Dr have new sundresses -- just need hemming -- Alissa, Mariah and Alix are going to be fine looking diva's when I'm done.
