It's a bit cool today and I got chased out of the garden by sprinkling rain. I was out pulling up the broccoli that bolted and working on two new plots. Some of it that bolted into flowers is left in the garden for the bees. They are having quite a time with it. These two latest plots will bring the garden up to what I consider to be its maximum of 9 plots. It'll provide roughly 250 square feet of planting space and should be just about right for producing what we can use. Since it is a bit shady today, I pulled both of our heating pads out of the closet and put them under the new sprouting plants in the kitchen. Some of the seeds from two weeks ago are just now starting to break the ground while others are taking off.

The LW continues to grow large and has a hard time getting comfortable on the new futon couch/bed that we purchased recently. We didn't have any place for the inlaws to sleep during their upcoming visit, so it was a necessity. The LW will be more comfortable in a month or so when CP comes out to greet everyone.

I spoke to a guy this morning who wants to put in a garden at a local group home for men. They have a huge space (5+ acres) and evidently have some willing participants. Their idea is to have a big garden for pumpkins that they can sell to the public around halloween and to have some individual plots for some of the residents. It'll be good if we can get it all set up and running.

The house next door is for sale and we wonder whether we'll actually have someone come in an purchase the house to live in or if it will continue to be a rental home. It is listed for almost twice what we paid for ours, so that bodes well for a bit of easy equity.
