We went to two different Home Depot’s today, but didn’t end up with
\nmuch to show for it. I got a pair of gloves to wear while working on
\nthe garden, and also 3 plastic pots for my cucumbers. I was hoping to
\nget some edging for the garden, but couldn’t find anything that I
\nliked, and was inexpensive. It was rather disappointing. We also didn’t
\nget the soil and manure yet, because it was somewhat out of reach, and
\nwe didn’t feel like finding someone to drag it down for us so close to
\nclosing. We were hoping it could all be delivered, since carrying 320
\npounds of dirt and manure isn’t our idea of a great time, but it costs
\n$50 even just bringing it across town, so we’ll have to do it
\nourselves. It won’t be a big deal, but won’t be a great time either. <\/p>\n
So tomorrow, I guess we’ll make one trip to get the dirt and stuff,
\nand another trip to pickup the tiller. I still have to stake out where
\nI’m going to put the garden, but hopefully that won’t take too long. I
\nnever did find any stakes that I liked so I’ll probably end up just
\nusing some thick sticks from the yard. There are plenty of them around,
\nI just have to sharpen an end and stick them in the ground. I’m sure it
\nwon’t be that easy, since nothing ever is, but one can hope.<\/p>\n
The rain did stop when it was supposed to, so it was a pretty nice
\nafternoon. It’s pretty soggy out, but it was relatively warm. It should
\nbe about the same tomorrow, so that’s good. It won’t be so warm that
\nwe’ll be broiling outside while working, but won’t be cold either. The
\nground should be fairly soft after the rain and warm, so that’ll make
\nthings easier too. Hopefully things will go more smoothly tomorrow than
\ntoday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
