Apr. 25th, 2010 09:50 pmThings That Scared Sora Today (well, yesterday actually, but who's counting?)
-- A sock
-- The April 21-27, 2010 issue of Fort Worth Weekly
-- A stationary, silent Roomba
We went to Lowe's today and picked up bricks and tomato cages. Bricks because we have this fountain on the side patio which is a bitch to keep clean, because there is no drain and no connection to any water line, so it collects rainwater, vegetation, dirt, and, if you don't want to keep the pump going, mosquito larvae. So we got the lawn guys to come and clean it out, and then threw a large tarp over it. The bricks were to weigh the tarp down so it doesn't get animals or water under there. It now looks like we have a large dark green pyramid on our patio.
I watered the plants after that, then attacked the front yard with pruning shears, getting rid of whatever it is in the bed of azaleas that's sending out long shoots. And the 2.5' tall dandelion stalk in the rose bed. And then I was hot and overheated and had a bad headache, so I took a cool shower to try to cool down, and took a nap.
Later on, went back out to the garden - 13 of the 16 potato pieces I planted have sprouted, and they're shooting up like mad. There are two teeny tiny baby tomatoes on the tomato plants - one on each - and three pea pods on the pea plants. I don't think we'll actually get enough peas mature at the same time to supply two servings, though. :) I picked a pod, opened it, and we ate the four peas inside. Very sweet and good. (I'm fascinated by7 the way the pods form - when the flower withers, it seems that two leaves next to it knit themselves together around it to form the pod. Odd, that!
