So, I'm trapped inside today because I was running a fever last night, and I decided I'd better stick to the house this morning and rest. We'll see how I'm feeling when Mom gets home from work, because we're supposed to plant the garden before chores, and I really want to get out in the dirt and dig. But right now it's just me and my can of diet Dr. Pepper and a pad of graph paper.
Pad of graph paper? What are you going to do with that, Sarah? I hear you ask. Well, I will tell you, friends.
I am mapping out the garden plot, so we know where to plant what and what we've planted where, on the off chance our markers are destroyed. We'll also be able to figure out what to plop in the overflow plot that is going in our backyard. (The current garden plot is in the backyard of our old house, which we still don't know what will happen to. It will probably be torn down sometime in the next year . . . I think.) I think all the early stuff will be going in the first plot -- lettuce, radishes, etc. Peppers are being potted. The stuff that needs more maintenance -- tomatoes and squash, for example -- will be going in the overflow plot.
Wish me luck, folks! I've got a lot of seeds to cram into a 7' by 12'rectangle.
