Okay, if you didn't read up on the Kobayashi Maru scenario, then the last entry is pretty obscure. What can I tell you.
In a no-win situation, a stubborn, independent, creative person does not accept the group think and goes in an entirely different direction.
That was a picture of a pea seed being planted in my garden.
Keep up people. Keep up. We have a lot of ground to cover.
(There's a pun in there somewhere, but my brain hurts too much to parse it out.)
Here's an aspirin.

Yesterday I went over to Orchard Supply Hardware to get some grass patch stuff that no one else seems to carry. I have a bare spot in the grass from too much shade last year. Since I cut those bushes WAY back, I think I can get the grass to grow there now.
Anyway, they had a huge display of seeds from a company I had never seen before. With a lot of flowers and vegetables I haven't seen either. I went a little crazy and picked up about a dozen packets until I finally noticed the price on the back... I had to put some back. It was tough. I mean I pouted. I think I whined. I may have stomped my foot. But listen, 2.79 a pack was a little steep don't you think?
But just LOOK what I brought home:
I can hardly wait to get these in the ground. Especially those carrots. Adorable.
Only thing is I need to devise some barriers to keep the dogs from running through my raised beds and parts of the flower beds. Anyone have any brilliant, CHEAP solutions? I looked at fencing the other day and got real cranky real fast.
This is what I did to the small raised bed:
Only thing is, I don't have any more trimmings to lay over the larger beds right now. Rats.
Oh, since we are doing a garden report, I might as well include this too:
The last of the heirloom tomato seeds. I don't have a single one left now. Hope these do well. With all the new soil in the beds, they won't have much excuse not to thrive. I haul these in and out of the house every day. The sun does them good and keeps them from getting leggy indoors. I just have to make sure I bring them in when the sun goes down.
(I see a problem right there...)
You ARE a problem.
