NPE (New Project Energy)
So all I think about these days, it sometimes seems, is my garden. What shall I plant, how shall I build my box, and so on. I am more functional than I usually am when I'm in Noo Luv mode, but my mind is impatient to think about the garden when I'm forcing it to think about other things.
My partners are being so cute and sweet and helpful with it, too, so it's been really pure joy getting this thing going. stonebender took me shopping yesterday and let me burble at him for hours. sogwife is a fount of good advice and enthusiasm. someotherguy thinks it's cute that I'm all bouncy about it, and has offered to help with the scut work. (Luckily, this Square Foot thing means there's very little scut work.) Oh, and loracs lent me her weedwhacker, in addition to sweetly trading cars with me yesterday so stonebender and I could be all Tool Time-y.
Tonight: clear the junk from the plot and go to it with a weedwhacker (saving the Love in a Mist for sogwife
Tomorrow: Put down cardboard or something as a weed barrier and build the box; Fill the box and mark off the square-foot sections; Plant the tomatoes, strawberries, and verbena.
Wednesday: Plant the seeds
From then on, instant happiness, just add water.
Yay!
