<span style="font-style: italic;">I have no idea when this was. March 2011? Maybe?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;">At some point, we had a joint fiesta for several family birthdays at the house. Basically, I was in Hobby Lobby, saw the mustaches and decided we needed to make a party so we could use them. </span><br />

This summer I re-met an old friend from high school, and the spouses hit it off, so....<br />
<br />
Let's all go to the country in Oklahoma!<br />
<br />
Makes sense to me.<br />
<br />
Actually, Matt's mom, Gaye, lives on a ranch out there and he thought we might enjoy a visit, which we completely did. It was the best time.<br />
<br />
It was just a laid-back weekend, and David and I had the best time wandering around, relaxing, napping, reading, and playing with and learning about all the animals. David really enjoyed listening to Doug tell us all about various things on the ranch, like his goat-milking system. <br />
<br />
Really, not a lot to tell. Lovely, unhurried company, beautiful place, leisurely fun. We truly had a great time, and the best part was that David had a great time...one step closer to my dream of having some land of our own! <rubbing burns-like="" hands="" mr.="" together,=""><br /></rubbing><br />
<br />
I'll let the pictures/captions tell the story - they do a better job anyway. What we did while there:<br />
<br />
- horseback riding<br />
- ATVing<br />
- eating some kind of amazing goat cheese-thing Doug made from the milk of his own herd<br />
- Beekeeping<br />
- went out to eat<br />
- shooting practice<br />
<br />
The Lawrences have quite the menagerie, all adorable rescues. I was in heaven. Somehow I didn't get any pictures of the cats, for shame. So: Roll-call!<br />

Doesn't she look happy? I mean, who wouldn't, after shooting themselves in the leg?<br />

Yes, this happened. My mom is special. How did this happen, you might ask? If you know my mom, you are probably nodding your head and thinking, 'I would not be surprised if this involved costumes, and/or alcohol.'<br />
<br />
Actually, it involved neither. The short story is that my grandfather is getting older, and it became a hazard to leave his multitude of guns in his possession. So, it was decided that they should be given to my mom for safe-keeping.<br />
<br />
Bwaha-ha ha ha!<br />
<br />
Ah, hindsight. So anyway, this happened:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCcVhpPuCA7CSRU6DwCGkxiGh-TDN4yJWLWJ8UB_JhJctTgfWJVu5Nw8ZO_QXS_qjxffrz-gGGdAPZnm04LYWCube_Jzx2YHgFruUiLXQMnVd-bRjLN6Ghu4tmfOY298lm1E9B/s1600/wound.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637086454940874914" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCcVhpPuCA7CSRU6DwCGkxiGh-TDN4yJWLWJ8UB_JhJctTgfWJVu5Nw8ZO_QXS_qjxffrz-gGGdAPZnm04LYWCube_Jzx2YHgFruUiLXQMnVd-bRjLN6Ghu4tmfOY298lm1E9B/s320/wound.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 191px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a>Mom did not bother to inform me of the fact she had SHOT HERSELF IN THE LEG until 24 hours after it actually happened. I tell you, it is hard to think of what to say first when your mom calls and tells you she had shot herself in the leg a few days ago. In the end, I went with, "WHAT!?"<br />
<br />
Apparently, among the guns was a very nice revolver? maybe a pistol? that was older with some lovely scroll work and my mom decided to play cowboy with it in her living room.<br />
<br />
Seriously.<br />
<br />
Later, after several days and a phone call from my mildly hysterical sister, David and I were sitting with mom in the ER, where she had promptly made friends with every single person she met. Looking at the wound, I starting thinking about all the worry that could have been set aside with a simple picture sent from her cell phone. I have GOT to teach mom how to do that.<br />
<br />
Back to the point, we were sitting there, soaking in the apparent healing rays being emitted from the paper covering the patient chair, because otherwise I can't figure out why they made my mom sit there, doing nothing, for upwards of 6 hours. So we are sitting there, passing time, when I start mulling over my limited knowledge of gun safety, which resulted in this conversation:<br />
<br />
Me: "Mom, didn't the gun have a safety? Wouldn't you have to cock it for it to fire?"<br />
<br />
Mom: "It did - I had cocked the gun."<br />
<br />
Me: "??"<br />
<br />
Mom: "I did it because that's what a cowboy would do."<br />
<br />
Me: "........" <face palm=""><br /></face><br />

Ok, so this is a baby shower I threw for my good friend Amy, who has long since actually given birth to her sweet kiddo, Bennett. I don't understand what 'posting in a timely manner' means. This is her third child, but I was in Hawaii and didn't get to throw her a shower the first time around, so I'm making up for lost time, here. So.. Diaper shower! You can never had too many of those things lying around, I hear.<br />
<br />
This was a lot of fun, although next time I will do less planning and a lot more doing before 6pm the night before. I was literally lugging my couch into the front room and throwing the cushions on it, haphazardly, as Amy was walking up my sidewalk. <br />
<br />
I have issues.<br />
<br />
But I think it came off well! Unfortunately, my camera crapped out, and since I was finishing it up as guests were arriving, I didn't get to take all the fun beofre pictures I wanted to, and had to use my phone camera for most of these. Drat!<br />

<br />
So, this day was the day the wheels fell off.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Close. So close to a issue-free vacation. It started off ok ā I actually got out of bed at 4 am, which
in and of itself is a miracle.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That was the last thing to go right for a while. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The car was rented in Davidās name. So, to help save time, David dropped us off
at the airport at 5 am and went to go drop off the car so we could make our 7:30
am flight. This was of utmost importance, because David had just enough time to
get home from the airport, repack for a business trip, and then fly out to
Denver that afternoon.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We did not see him again for over an hour.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Which was a problem, because as it turned out, when I went
to go get our boarding passes, a very unhelpful lady told me she had no Dyers
on the flight. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Or any flights. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All day.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I called David to let him know what was up, and I had just
enough time to say āThey donāt have any tickets for usā before his phone died. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thus began over an hour of pacing back and forth in the
terminal, making sure we didnāt miss him when he came back, because how would
we get a hold of him? Turned out that
the car rental place we used was the only one who did not have an airport
location. He was having issues finding
it because his cell was dead and he couldnāt look up directions. So by the time he found the place, returned
the car, and took the shuttle back to the airport, it was past 6 am and I was
foaming at the mouth. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not literally, people.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway, David eventually made it back, and adopted the
stride of Man About To Get Things Done and went over to the counter, which
happened to be a inhabited by a somewhat deranged woman named Mary.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We had hooked up with Mary by pure chance. While we were standing in the middle of the
concourse, waiting for Davidās return, she came up and asked us about our trip
and what we were doing. When we
explained we somehow had no record of our tickets, and were waiting for my
husband to return with our confirmation number, she went off to her counter and
said, āCome on over to me! Iām the best.ā
And honestly, if nothing else, she did try to help us, and was the only
one willing to do so. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So David talked to Mary for a minute, and then borrowed Paulās
iPhone to look up our confirmation number.
David had the phone in his hands for maybe 20 seconds when she came bursting out
around the counter and started snapping her fingers in his face saying, āI need
that code!ā It was with equal parts
fascination and dread that I tried to guess how David would respond to this, at
6:30 am and pretty stressed out. He
actually did pretty well, turning her and saying, calmly, āTechnology is my
limitation.ā</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This became, quite possibly, the best quote from the trip.<br />

Eventually we figured out that somehow, when we bought the
tickets while on the phone with my sister, verifying times and flight numbers,
seating, etc, we purchased our tickets for Saturday, not Sunday. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We had bought our tickets for the wrong day and missed our flight.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Thus began what I will term The Scramble. I cannot even explain those last, frenzied 40
minutes. This lady was on something, or has forgotten to take something, because
she was wired at 6 am and every exchange just made us feel like this was a Catastrophe
that might not be able to be reverted. We would have to live in the airport
terminal. Some highlights:</div>

<li><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"></span>Mary informing us that if we had just bought the
tickets through the Alaskan Air site instead of Orbitz, there would only be a $200
change fee, instead of the $1200 the tickets were now going to cost us. IF they
could find some seats for us.<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span> </li>
<li>During the insanity, at one point Mary paused to
shout at some guy passing by that he and his wife needed to go out for drinks
with her. He made some no-committal noise and scurried the heck out of there, with the look of a cornered rabbit.<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";">
</span> </li>
<li>Then, when we had finally resigned ourselves
to selling a kidney apiece for our tickets, as there were 2 seats left on the
flight and we were running out of time, Mary got excited and HUNG UP ON THE PERSON WHO COULD BOOK US THE SEATS.
Really. Her verbatim quote:</li>
<li> "I got too excited and hung up on āem! Now weāre gonna have to start all over and
youāre not going to make it.ā</li>
<li><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";">
</span>Finally booking our tickets, sadly handing over
our credit card, and her taking all our money with a āWeāll see if we can get
you on the plane!ā<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span>The last, desperate, checking and flinging of
our bags onto the conveyor belt, watching them glide into a tunnel and possibly,
I mused, out of my life forever.<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"></span> </li>
<li>The atrocity at the security check deserves a
paragraph of its own.</li>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We felt the need to record this. I think my expression captures the moment nicely. That's Mary in the background, probably about to hang up on our tickets any second.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So as Mary printed off our tickets, she started pushing me
towards the security line, shouting, āGo! Run! Get in the shortest line!!ā There was no shortest line. I have seen
shorter lines at Disney World. The plane
is taking off in 20 minutes, and there is no way we are going to make it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then Mary caught up with us. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
She grabbed me, dragged us to the first TSA guy she saw,
and started shrieking about how we needed to get through RIGHT NOW and where
can we go? We were then shoved to another guy, who took our info and started
processing our tickets. He was taking his
time. I donāt think this guy could be
rushed for anything, including volcanic eruptions. This infuriated Mary, who had obviously forgotten to take her Ritalin that
morning. She then spied the next line, which was
to get through the scanners. At that
point she screeched to the 2<sup>nd</sup> TSA guy, āAre they going to
have to go through that?!ā</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
āYup.ā </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And so, naturally, she spun around to the first TSA guy and
pointing, screamed, āYOU LIED TO ME!!ā
And she started going off on some rant, which the TSA guy interrupts with
an authoritative āMAāAM.ā and beckoned her over. She scurried off in her righteous anger for us and they
conferred. At this point we are trying as
much as possible to distance ourselves from this woman. I am imaging strip
searches, probes. This is worse than the
last time we were in an airport together on a return flight, and David got
called away by the security staff and we didnāt see him for 30 minutes. Turns out they thought he was a terrorist ā I
had brought along some fondant for cake we had made. Fondant is a white, Play-Do
like substance that is unmarked, brick-like in shape, and comes wrapped in
shiny silver paper. Kind of looks like plastic explosives. Ooops.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway, she came back in a minute, hugs David, then hugs me and
whispers in my ear, āI hate those TSA bitchesā, and then, mercifully, we were
on our own.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We made it through security <no probes=""> and had about
10 minutes to make our flight. After an
hour with high-strung, the-world-is-ending Mary, David started running for the
gate. I halfheartedly followed, then
gave up and walked. I had been thoroughly
demoralized by our reduction in funds, and saw my chance for ever having a
patio leaving me. </no></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But we made the plane.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Court and Paul were pretty excited to see us on it ā we were
not sure how D and I were going to get home, since C and Pās car was at the
airport, and they had to head home. So that was good. But, getting the last two seats on the plane,
our seats were not together. David found
his row and sat down, and I kept goingā¦and goingā¦and there, in the second to
last row, I found my seat.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My middle seat.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In between two very large men. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wedged myself into
my seat, arms humorously squished together in front of my body. I hung my head, dejected, and had a little 5 minute pity party. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I eventually rallied and talked with the nice men on either side
of me. One was a Mormon boy of 16, a few
weeks from leaving on his mission, and the other was a middle-aged guy who had
just gotten back from a hunting trip, in which he lived on top of a mountain for
2 weeks. Seriously. So at least we had things to
talk about.</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
We did eventually get to DFW, and after disembarking, filled
Courtney and Paul in on all the insanity that they missed out on bc we wanted
them to board in a timely manner. It was
at this point that Court took this picture.</div>

Miracle of miracles, our BAGGAGE HAD MADE IT TO DALLAS. Not that I'm complaining, but how did that happen? I mean, if there was one time I would understand our luggage didn't make it, this was it. I don't understand that process at all. But, so happy. Gotta find those sliver linings where ya can.<br />

Anybody watch Scrubs? JD and Turk would do this thing where JD would jump on his back and go 'Eeeggalllllle" as they ran around.

About 5 minutes after this picture was taken, the park closed and everyone was supposed to get out. 10 minutes later, David lost his sunglasses in the deep pit dug around this enclosure while standing on the rail, not that we told the park people that little bit of info. So we went up to the front and let them know what happened, and they said they would send someone over to get them in a bit.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Which meant WE BASICALLY HAD THE WHOLE PLACE TO OURSELVES.</div>

For some reason we were all spread all over the park, and a sudden flurry of texting occurred as we all started frantically texting to each other that the wolves/bears/jaguars/arctic fox/etc were out and wandering around. There was a lot of running as we tried to see everything before they came and got David's glasses and we had to actually leave. It was pretty fun.</div>

The rolls were very inventive and really good. Also we were really hungry. Add those together and we ordered so much the waiter had issues finding room on the table. He was real nice though, and Paul's ability to unconsciously charm anyone he meets meant that when the manager turned up to the table to ask how everything was, we somehow ended up with him giving us some really nice sake. I had no idea how that happened, and unfortunately I don't like sake, but he was watching so I had to drink it and not make a face.<br />

Feeling a uncomfortably full we went back to the hotel and attempted to sleep, bc we had to get up at the ungodly hour of 4 am to make it on our flight the next morning.<br />
<br />
Which turned out to be a good thing, bc the next morning turned out to be a disaster, with the drama level going from about a 1 to a 12. Also, we meet a crazy lady who reminded us of our mom if she had been on Ritalin. <br />

There was much angsting over what to do in Vancouver. We only had that day, as we had to be in Seattle that night. The two main contenders were Grouse Mountain and the Capilano Suspension Bridge. It was pretty cloudy, so I thought the whole point of Grouse mountain (i.e. the view) would be pretty pointless, so we decided on....<br />

Ok, so guess who cares about this!? None of you! But my unorganized self will most DEFINITELY have lost any kind planning materials by this time next year, so they are really safest here.<br />
<br />
Also, I don't have the heart to wave this in front of my poor husband's face when he gets home at night these days, bc he is working so hard already, and I have to share this unexpected bout of planning with someone, because I am feeling all responsible and stuff.<br />
<br />
SO!! I found so many online vegetable garden planning sites this year. Planting dates, planning software, good times. And after condensing it all down onto a calendar, I'm now going to subject you all to what we will be doing in the garden this year and when we have to do it! I'm sure you'll be thrilled. <br />

I thought it best to stop there, because who knows what will be happening mid-summer. I'll reconvene then and figure out a game plan for the Fall/Winter. Last year we didn't know what the heck we were doing and randomly stuck things in the ground. I didn't realize a lot of those fall/winter plants aren't fully harvested until early summer, usually, and so I have plants growing in areas that I need to be able to sow seeds in a few months. And I don't want to throw away all that time invested in growing them, so....dilemma. The carrots, chard, and the onions I didn't plant in the front yard I think I am just going to pull up and tell myself that I am harvesting them early so they will be 'young' and 'tender'. Ha. <br />
<br />
On a side note, even though I don't like to EAT onions, per se, I really like growing them. You just stick those root veggies in the ground. THE END. No covering, no worrying about foliage. If they have been attacked by something at least I won't know until I pull them up, and the pain will be short and sweet, like ripping off a band-aid instead of the long, drawn out agony that I go through trying to save my other plants. <br />
<br />
Anyway, here's hoping for year 2 of gardening!<br />

Our first full day in Tofino! We are not going to let rain get us down! I, personally, dressed for the day in what was basically a garbage bag with legs and arms. We're talking STYLE, people.</div>

Breakfast was a group affair in the common room - the staff makes huge pots of oatmeal and muffins, and lay out a bunch of toppings to customize it. It was pretty good, actually.</div>

A large percentage of the people staying here were Europeans. In the late afternoon a gaggle of little old french ladies would gather around the fireplace and speak to each other in rapid-fire french; I loved trying to listen in on their conversations. David and I sat with a lovely couple from Bulgaria (?) at breakfast, and we had a great time conversing with them, particularly the wife. Later I heard her speaking with the little old french ladies, and then even later she was translating for an Italian couple who came in. It was crazy. I felt very inadequate, language-wise.</div>

After dinner, we decided we wanted to play a game, and proceeded to be loud, noisy Americans (especially my sister and I, who have no shame) much to the embarrassment of the boys and entertainment of the people clustered in the common room.<br />
<br />
We actually stopped at a store on the way home and got some cookie dough to bake back at the lodge. We ate some, but left a plate out for anyone else who wanted some, bc filling the common room with the smell of fresh-baked cookies and not sharing is just mean.<br />

Although, there will forever be the epic 'greenhouse' card that Courtney had to act out and and I miraculously got after a few seconds. Sometimes it really is just not fair for the guys.<br />

I will take a second to describe where we stayed. We were at what was basically a really nice hostel at the Botanical Gardens. It was very granola, people walking around with dreadlocks, no shoes, a general 'I'm close to Mother Earth and you are a mass-consumer poophead" kind of feel, but for the most part they were nice to us.<br />

Today was the day - CANADA. <br />
<br />
I was pretty excited. Except for the fact we had to get up at some ungodly vacation hour, like 6 am, to catch the ferry over because Courtney and I plan these things in the middle of the day when we are excited and awake. Courtney is the only one still excited at 6 am.<br />
<br />
And thank goodness she was there, because she was the only one with the wherewithal to wander around taking pictures while the rest of us were asleep (the boys) or descending to new levels of grumpiness (me). Take Exhibit A:<br />

This became a theme, as I was quickly obsessed with blackberries. There are just wild bushes of them EVERYWHERE and more than once everyone else would realize I was not with them anymore, bc I had stopped a mile back and was stuffing my cheeks with blackberries.<br />

The best part about this particular patch is that right after my right foot, which you can't see, the cliff just drops off, more or less straight down. I think everyone was surprised I did not fall off. <br />

We spent some time wandering around the Marina, taking in the peace and tranquility, listening to some old men arguing about chess.<br />
<br />
There was a little beach, and the calm waters looked perfect for some rock-skipping. I love that there was time for things like rock-skipping. Off vacation, I feel like sometimes I don't have time to eat, much less take the time for pointless yet pleasurable activities.<br />

After the Marina, we rode up the coast a little bit and then cut inland, back toward downtown Victoria. The entire time, we were passing yards that looked like they were effortlessly maintaining prize-winning landscapes. I was starting to get bitter.<br />
<br />
Exhibit A:<br />
This was literally a tiny garden set up on a public corner that was made just to walk around and smell things. It was heavenly. My resentment increased. And my knee started to twinge.<br />

Blessedly, there was an adorable strip we came across that we stopped and browsed through. I was sorely tempted by The Penny Farthing (below) that offered a fish and chips special - although I had to pass, as we are traveling with Paul, which meant we were having full meals every 2 hours and I basically never had the chance to get hungry.<br />
<br />
Paul has the metabolism of a 14 year old.<br />

The jerk.<br />

Y'all. I love family-owned bookstores. I love big box bookstores too, becuase they have books in them, but I have a special love for tiny bookstores. They have a special smell. In a good way.<br />
<br />
Oh, shut up, they do.<br />

This bookstore came complete with a delightful mix of new and old titles, a wooden ladder to reach higher shelves, and a French owner guy reading something pretentious who really didn't give a shit about anything, including customers. David found an old C.S. Lewis title he wanted to buy, and the guy looked pretty put-out to have to actually put down his book and take our money.<br />
<br />
This could be mostly due to the fact I was running around like a kid in a candy store, saying things like "Holy crap!" and "Get a load of this!" in non Canadian-approved decibels.<br />

What followed was the best food of the trip, hands down. Everything was amazing. I think I had some kind of lobster curry bisque thing? And some mac and cheese to rival Yardhouse's. And that is saying something.<br />
<br />
I was also introduced to poutine (poo-ten) which is fries with cheese curds covered in gravy. Not cream Texas gravy, brown demi-glace gravy.<br />
<br />
Y'all. It was stupid good. <br />

After stuffing ourselves, David gave my gimp ass a piggy-back ride back to the car, and I felt slightly guilty for just having eaten approximately 10 lbs of food.<br />
<br />
We made it to Ojai (really? I just had to look this up, as I was shamed that I had no idea where we has slept) and stayed at the Hummingbird Inn, which was really a B&B that we had a huge room/kitchen/sitting area upstairs all to ourselves. It was just us and a bunch of guys going out the next morning to hunt bears.<br />
<br />
HOT TUB TIME. Beer + people + boiling vat of water = Good.<br />

Jan 4<sup>th</sup> I was putting these bad boys into their
transient homes before they move into the garden. Last year we had no idea what the crud we
were doing, and have come a long way since then. We also discovered North haven Gardens, THE
BEST GARDENING CENTER EVER, and they have helped us quite a bit. They have possibly
the most knowledgeable people ever on staff, and they all are more than happy to
talk to you for as long as youād like.
One time a very nice lady walked around with us for 40 minutes, just
giving us tips. </div>

Last year, we got started and there was so much to do and learn, and seed catalouges are HUGE and very scary. So we went went to out local HD and picked stuff out that bc it was already weeded down to varieties that do well in our area.<br />
<br />
This year, seed catalogues are still scary but we have NHG to go to now, and they have all kinds of fun things to choose from. We actually have issues narrowing it down. We went with a purple variety, a pink brandywine, and yellow, cuz - color! I admit I was imagining a very pretty bruchetta for some party. Or myself on a Friday night. Whichever.<br />

</span>- No dumb peat pots. I hate those things. Roots
grown into them so you canāt remove it, but they rarely truly break through the
pot, and they arenāt dissolving, either.
We found lots of remnants when we ripped out the summer stuff to make
way for fall. We use plastic pots from plants we bought at Loweās and
transplanted. </div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
-<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";">
</span>- No peat pellets, either. They offer nothing except structure for the
newbie plants. We prefer a seed-starter
mix, preferably organic.</div>
<div class="MsoListParagraph" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
-<span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";">
</span>- Heat Mat ā this keeps those little guys warm and
tricks them into thinking itās spring and they should sprout. I planted the seeds and they had germinated
and grown after just 3 days. The package
says 7-10 days. Crazy.</div>

- - This year I'm keeping a journal, bc after all the work last year, I have no idea what we planted when and what we tried, and what worked...etc. I'm all proud of myself, envisioning a library of yearly gardening knowledge, my future children fighting over them when I'm too old to continue. But there will probably be food replicators just like Star Trek by then.</div>

A carload of pumpkins is always a good start.<br />
<br />
David and I actually spent a lovely lunch break in the fall air roaming around, picking out pumpkins. Well, David roamed. I neurotically darted btwn the different piles of pumpkins, trying to ascertain which ones were The Best. Apparently, I have issues.<br />
<br />
We had our community group over for a carving extravaganza. Mainly, I used it as an excuse to buy the large box of those Friday's potato skins and not feel guilty. Mmmm<br />

A few weeks after that - we went to a GREAT Halloween party, which produced this little marvel: The Hillbilly Pirate Cake.<br />
<br />
Seriously.<br />
<br />
I owed him for being awesome, and pompously told him to pick any theme and I would make him a cake. In the future, I will be more careful when I say things like this.<br />

Another thing I LOVED about his party, was that it was My Kind of People, meaning the nerd percentage was pretty high. This meant that 5 whole people actually knew who I was! I was so excited, especially after toiling with my mom (read: she did it all herself after the first night) to make the perfect jacket from the series. <br />
<br />
Do you know who I am? Are you super cool? <br />

Kaylie's match in the series is Simon, who is a doctor. It was hysterical, becuase away from me, David looks like That Guy Who Didn't Have A Costume. David actually described himself as 'Douchebag Doctor'.<br />
<br />
So, throughout the evening, I would point out David, describe who I had made him dress up as, and got lots of, "Ohh!!" from people, who originally probably thought he really was dressed up as a jerky doctor. It was humorous, and led me to promise that he could have a costume that could stand on its own next year.<br />
<br />
It was a good party. So good, even David stayed up til around 3 in the morning. There may or may not have been some attempts by yours truly to play Rock Band for the first time in the wee hours of morning.<br />
<br />
The results of this were apparently so entertaining that David, the next day, expressed some desire to buy the game just to watch me try to play it.<br />
<br />
I blame whatever that smoking green stuff was that Kelly made me drink. :) <br />
<br />
<br />
A few days later, actual Halloween occured, and Mom came over to help me hand out candy to the kiddies.<br />

Mom with her doggie helpers. Koa was so great - whenever the doorbell rang, he would wander over to the front door and stand there and let kids pet him like it was no big deal.<br />

Does this happen to anyone else, or do I need to start looking into serious pharmaceuticals?!<br />
<br />
This also happens to me a lot at red lights. Except usually, at those, my mind delights in dredging up mortifying moments from my past and replaying them for my horrified entertainment. Like the time, newly married and still very shy, I went to get the mail and came back into the apt, only to see that David had redecorated the entryway in my absence (and it was ugly). I don't remember the exact words that I started yelling, but it was probably unpleasant with a side note of profanity. At this, 3 extremely good-looking guys (of course they were good-looking) walked out of the bedrooms to stare at me. I HAD WALKED INTO THE WRONG APT AND STARTED CURSING AT ITS OCCUPANTS. I probably made some noise not unlike 'glark' and backed my profanic butt out of there as quickly as possible.<br />
<br />
And for the next two years, proceeded to take extremely ridiculous measures to make sure I never ran into them again.<br />
<br />
Another favorite is the time I met David's borderline-genius father for the first time. "Remember how you slammed your head, unintentionally, into not one, but three different objects in the room?!" my brain screams. " Ha ha! You cretin!"<br />
<br />
<br />
My life is pretty blessed right now - I have a great husband, enjoy my job, we have our health, and we're slowly turning our house into our home.<br />
<br />
So it's going to be a real shocker to everyone one day when this happens to me at a red light and I lose the will to live and roll into the intersection.<br />

<br />
I love my local library. There is just so much information waiting to be taken home and loved, much like a puppy at the pet store just without all the bodily function surprises.<br />
<br />
So! On such a trip while looking for info on gardening and patios, we ended up taking home a few books on building your own birdhouse. One was pretty straightforward, but the other was like Home For the Distinguishing Fowl. Some of them looked nicer than <i>my</i> house<span style="font-style: italic;">.</span><br />
<br />
After an evening with David of planning ornate birdhouses, I did some actual research (I am finally learning - do all the research FIRST) and found out that hey, birds hate that. Here's the condensed skinny on getting a bird to actually live in something you make:<br />
<br />
''Make it rough and look like a natural dwelling because bright colors aren't so good at hiding from predators that want to eat their babies, and birds won't live in it which kind of defeats the point''<br />
<br />
So, sadness. We decided to dial down the birdy McMansion and make a birdy McHomeless shelter instead.<br />
<br />
There is probably some lesson on humility and our materialistic society in here somewhere, but I am too busy picking out fabric for some new drapes to find it.<br />
<br />
Step One:<br />
<br />
Planning. Like, perhaps you should get the plans before you buy the wood, so your wife doesn't get all naggy and inform you that your wood is incorrectly sized and inferior. <br />

<br />
Step 2:<br />
<br />
Go back to Home We Own Your Soul Depot for more wood<br />
<br />
Step 3:<br />
<br />
Cut things. Preferably not your own limbs.<br />

<br />
Step 7:<br />
<br />
Assemble. Buy a nail gun and just go crazy. That's what we did, anyway. And by we, I mean David because I am even more terrified of the nail gun than I am of the miter saw. Those things could misfire and shoot me in the eye, and then I would lurch blindly around the house, squeezing the trigger in<i> agony </i>AND THEN OH MY GOSH I SHOT MY DOG.<br />
<br />
So.<br />
<br />
I left it to David.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKuZf61qkNgTuW3hyT6yO58wlR0zADGseqQaGm1TKcccg5BtPJlvMjA-1i5VzPaT5Hob2sv-pzp8aE7QrHqRJAd6TQ6GaDT0zXxiGSNwgTlgd2yCfKVPbXeiSpCTmOntuilGAF/s1600/IMG_0964.JPG"><br /></a><br />

The Internet has taught me to be frightened of many things</span></div>
<br />
Step 7:<br />
<br />
Get a bit of some kind for your drill that makes holes in wood and make an entrance in the door. Ours was 1 1/2 inches, which allow of many different types of birds. Be sure to check online or in a book to make sure what size your selected species of birds prefers.<br />
<br />

<br />
Step 8:<br />
<br />
Nail down anything that is loose. Or, if you are Lily, attempt to defend against the nail gun and compressor with vicious barking and physical attacks. I don't think she liked the noise. I was sure she was going to get herself a nail through the lip, or even worse, make David shoot himself in the leg/arm.<br />

In the beginning, our sad little plants were attacked first by hail (crushed) and then aphids. At first the seeds were carefully selected for being '<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">burpless</span>' among other attributes, and carefully labelled in the garden.<br />
<br />
Well.<br />
<br />
That didn't last long. We had several casualties, which resulted in us driving to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Lowes</span> and grabbing plants more or less at random from the shelves to transplant. So now I have no idea what's what, which is unfortunate for next year's planning, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">bc</span> its basically back to square one.<br />
<br />
<br />

We are growing our stuff organically, which usually means nasty smelling things like fish emulsion and blood meal sometimes litter our patio. But more than anything, I sometimes have vicious daydreams of buying the most chemical-rich insecticide that I can and just nuking every thing in there.<br />
<br />
Our cucumbers were being decimated by aphids. For some reason, the idea of a multitude of tiny insects targeting my plant an sucking the life out of it fills me with an unholy rage. In the spirit of organics, we decided to head over to Calloway's and pick up a container of ladybugs to take care of our little problem.<br />
<br />
Now, the package says they have a special food/bedding that makes them want to stay on your plants and not fly away. To this, I would like to say: Ha ha, you cretin.<br />
<br />
They hung around for a little over 24 hours, but after that it was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">sayonara</span>. <br />
<br />
After trying a multitude of organic pest control options - <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Neem</span> Oil, Orange oil, biological control (ladybugs), as well as companion plants, we finally found one that works great - <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Spinosad</span>. If you have a garden, go get you some. Immediately.<br />

<br />
Anyway, that brings us to now, and cucumber husbandry and proliferation.<br />
<br />
After watching our <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">cucumbers</span> make little babies that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">promptly</span> would <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">turn</span> yellow and fall off, I hit the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">internet</span>.<br />
<br />
Apparently, all the butterfly/bee <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">friendly </span>plants I've spread around the yard aren't doing their jobs, because I found out that they were all dropping off <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">because</span> they weren't being pollinated. So, guess how I spend a few mornings a week? <br />
<br />

If you said, 'You crawl around hand-pollinating each flower with a tiny paintbrush' then you have come to understand the level of insanity I have stooped to regarding this garden.<br />
<br />
<br />

So, really, it's my own fault that I have approximately a million inedible cucumbers.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yes, you heard me right. Inedible. So imagine our faces as we lovingly sliced our first cucumber - so juicy and crisp, still warm from the sun ā at put it into our mouths.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And promptly lunged for the sink so we could spit it out.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Turns out, extreme heat is not so good for cucumbers. The plant becomes āstressedā much like you or I during tax season, and decides to punish us by becoming horribly bitter.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Itās awful. Yet I canāt stop pollinating the things. It's a possibility that I might have issues. One of them is that we have several different breeds (is this the right word?) of vines, and every now and then, one of them produces a cucumber that is edible. So, I canāt throw them away, because WHAT IF!? But on the other hand, the only way to tell is to taste-test them, and it is unpleasant. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I usually approach this problem by placing them in the crisper, letting them get wrinkly, and then putting them in the compost pile. Youād be surprised how fast truly fresh produce goes bad.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So, I couldnāt help myself when my mom came over one day and I explained my problem to her. So we steeled ourselves, opened my crisper, and began to weed out the nasty ones.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This consisted on slicing off a piece, and tentatively touching my tongue to it. I know in about five seconds if it is nasty, and somehow it spreads to my entire mouth, making it feel powdery and locking up my jaw. I can't really describe it. To my everlasting entertainment, mom couldnāt quite grasp this process, and instead insisted on chewing up each piece. I blame her old-lady taste buds, because she could never tell right away. Sheād have a bite and say, āThis is good!ā To which I would continue to stare at her until the nauseated expression came over her face and she would spit out her pieces quickly, to the sound of my gales of laughter.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
In the end, only 2 cucumbers out of this bunch proved edible. Although the hilarity was almost worth all the work.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
Apparently there are types of cucumbers that are bred to be 'non-bitter'. You can bet I will be getting those next year.<br />

Something is up with our carrots. I was mildly disturbed when I started trying to pull these up, but then I remembered that I had to transplant these since they were unable to germinate in our new soil, and it is really hard to get a root he size of a hair strand to replant board-straight. Thus, we got some crazy-looking carrots once those twisty roots started growing up and filling out. <br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwYViHVW55gME8h8gKhtalxvAJMBmQ8qJroB8hmqX7rAscl505jti8y-nhNYNpz-W_QcA3zCJfCB_kDOvTYx2xhVNPeRZ872MmHQ9d-C0wQKGA3d0fRXhl9HWrsp9rCv60Yn4w/s1600/IMG_0858.JPG"><br /></a><br />

I don't think I will be transplanting carrots every again. A lot of them were so twisty they snapped off in the dirt when I tried to pull them up. Live and learn!<br />

I LOVE THEE.<br />
<br />
I think that David thinks our tomato plants don't produce very well, but the truth is that they rarely make it inside the house. In fact, they rarely survive for longer than 5 seconds off the vine. It's usually after I've eaten a plant's worth, seeds dribbling down my chin, that I feel like a rabid dog who won't share, then there's the shame, and then I make myself take them inside to eat later. Or perhaps, go crazy and actually share them with people.<br />
<br />
Eh, who am I kidding. Not my tomatoes!<br />

I can't even remember) made a bean that was about as big as the whole plant. I'm glad we took this, because a few days later this plant was murdered by hail. Damn you, elements!<br />
<br />
Actually, it was the death/mauling of most of our plants, as well as the non-stop rain that was rotting what had managed to stay alive, that made us install the supports you see below. When it's too rainy or cold, we plan on draping the plants with plastic to protect them. Once we actually start getting things we can actually eat, we are going to cover them with nets to protect against those thieving squirrels, those unappreciative jerks. They always take just one bite to assure you have to throw out all your hard work. Someone should teach them about environmental waste and upcycling.<br />
<br />
Ok, deep breaths. Squirrels have been eating my tomatoes, and I might have some rage issues.<br />

The garden with supports. The heat-loving stuff is really starting to grow. I think next year I'm going to do a weekly garden picture update. Could be fun.<br />

Our tomato plants are about as tall as I am. It's crazy. As you can see, we are going to have to build a taller support cage to contain their awesomeness.<br />

Well, our lettuce is anyway. Everything else is still recovering from transplant shock.<br />
<br />
I would say lettuce is my favorite to grow. That might be because it's the only thing doing well right now, but also I love that I always can have a salad without worrying that it might have gotten old and slimy in my fridge drawer.<br />

We have 1 Big Boy, 1 Better Girl, and 3 'Sweet 100' cherry tomato plants, the latter of which are producing like crazy. David has no idea, because I go out there right after work and eat all I can and then bring the few leftovers into the house.<br />

I won't forget my first taste of a home-grown tomato. I kind of expected any type of produce we grew in the garden to taste like rainbows. It should be beyond amazing, right?! Well, in most cases it just tastes like food. I've since learned that the main difference is in the nutrition it will have, based on your soil and fertilizer. But still.<br />
<br />

David and I recently listened to an author speak about the mass-production of tomatoes on NPR the other day. He, like most non-industrialized foodies, was very passionate about his subject, going into long discourses about how most tomatoes are grown in sand in FL, which imparts absolutely no nutrition to the fruits. Furthermore, they are picked very green and then sprayed with ethylene to force them to turn red. He referred to the whole process as something like, 'the prostitution of the tomato', and then told us to only eat tomatoes produced in summer and fall. I snorted. I don't care where it came from, I am not having a tomato-less existence for 6 months out of the year.<br />

I am choosing to ignore that is is freakishly small</span> </div>
<br />
But when I bit into that little sphere of deliciousness that spoke to me of days drenched in sunshine, I understood. It was full of flavor, both savory and slightly sweet, with a complexity I was not expecting. If you have a small plot of land that gets decent sun, stick a tomato plant in it. If you want to start from seed, you'll need to do it indoors and start in January. We were a little late because I had no idea, and so our production on the other two plants was kind of low. Once it gets stupid-hot the blooms no longer set and turn into tomatoes. We have several tomatoes that just stopped growing. The fruits have been tiny and on the vine for months with no progression.</div>

Our blackberry and raspberry bushes are hanging in there. I was told not to expect any fruit the first year as they are getting established, so I was pleasantly surprised to pick these little gems. I am not sure what is up with that midget strawberry, but it helped with the continuity of the picture.<br />

My plant is the 'everbearing' variety, which supposedly produced fruit for the entire growing season, instead of one giant harvest in June, like traditional raspberries. Gotta love genetic Frankensteins. Although it did attempt to make fruit over several months, I did notice that it was more productive in June.<br />

For some reason, I expected them to just put up a little sign when they were ready, saying, "Hey! We're ready to be picked now!" Not unlike the signs in Wily E Coyote cartoons.<br />
<br />
That being said, I wandered over to their corner of the garden one day and thought, <span style="font-style: italic;">Huh, I wonder if these are rotting in the ground or something.</span><br />
<br />
So I pulled a few up.<br />
<br />

<br />
I have plenty of memories picking carrots in my grandads garden, and they were always carrot-like and yummy. Ours kind of look like deformed Yeti fingers, and the taste is not what I remember either.<br />

But that's for another post.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Late July/August</span><br />
<br />
It is now stupid hot, and the garden is doing good not to be spontaneously combusting in this heat.<br />
<br />
The tomatoes have entered some kind of stasis, strawberries are in hibernation, cucumbers are producing inedible plants, and the poblano plant gave up the ghost, which surprised me. I thought these things were supposed to love hot weather!?<br />
<br />
BUT the vine-type plants are coming into their own.<br />
<br />
After looking pitiful and doing absolutely nothing for months, our watermelons and cantaloupe have started growing like weeds and are taking over their beds. It used to look pretty stupid, one watermelon plant approx. 4 inches in diameter in a bed all by itself, but it has almost filled the whole bed up now.<br />
<br />
7:45 am usually finds me in my nightgown crouching down between the vines with a paintbrush, trying to differentiate between the female and male flowers so I can pollinate them and hopefully end up with some fruit. This bout of weirdness finally paid off:<br />

<br />
I love checking on this little guy - he grows so much each day it's fun to watch. Although, strangely, cantaloupes start out looking suspiciously like a watermelon! lots of people have been asking if we mixed up the seeds. Only time will tell!<br />
<br />
So that's what's happening in the garden right now. We are basically just sitting back and seeing what happens, planning for next year when things like trellises become an obvious necessity to corral all the unruly vines spilling out of the beds and taking over our lawn.<br />

Holy Crap! It's Happened! There are actually plants in the garden. I think David considers that everything is spaced too far apart, but I was pretty firm about it, and I waited until physical labor wore him out to the point where he was complacent. I did not read 20 seed packets and make notes and measurements and actually utilize graph paper for nothing, buster. We shall see how this all pans out.<br />
<br />
Although I must admit, it looks pretty sparse at the moment.<br />

Right now since it's cool, it is full of different kinds of lettuce. Butterhead, gourmet greens mix, green loose leaf, and something else. Oh yeah! Two different types of spinach, one of which is not actually spinach, but will grow in warm weather. I completely forgot about them, because the spinach was a total fail. It wouldn't even germinate in our indoor grow area in most cases, and when we took the few that did outside, they did absolutely nothing. I am kind of baffled. I think we might have gotten a bad batch of seeds? So dissappointed.<br />

David's herb bed. I stole a big spot for another raspberry bush, but there's also several kinds of mint, oregano, 4 types of basil, chives, lavender, sages, parsley, cilantro....David decked that business out. You can also see we finally replanted that rosemary bush I randomly put in the middle of the lawn when we moved in. It was right where the garden was going, so we had to move it.<br />
<br />
David planted tulip bulbs on the end to cap it off and make it pretty, but those eventually got ripped up and we planted more herbs. We are kind of over bulbs. We went absolutely insane and bought something like 100+ different bulbs in the fall of '10. Costco is a dangerous place, people.<br />
<br />
Naturally, we planted exactly 0 of them over the winter like you're supposed to, but since they were in the garage they were somehow still viable in the early spring when I finally actually put them in the ground. They spouted, were very pretty for a few weeks, then became ugly. I'm not sure I can put up with ugly for 350 days just for 15 days of pretty.<br />
<br />
So! Plants! Oh, how does our garden grow.<br />

<br />
Granted, it is like the Rolls-Royce of dirt. It is specially formulated for vegetable plants, and has all sorts of stuff like compost, slate, decomposed granite, and some random clay pieces that smell like sewer. I don't know what they are, but apparently they are awesome.<br />
<br />

Thank goodness our neighbor, Harold, is pretty laid-back about the fact we frequently destroy/dump things in the shared strip between our houses. I figure it is a fair trade-off, as I have to see him walk around his backyard with his shirt off on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
We really need a taller fence.<br />

After filling this one bed, I had to go to work, and David finished up. He came up with the great idea to use an old board we had in the garage as a ramp for the wheelbarrow so we didn't damage our beds. Of course this did not even occur to me, as I was too busy being proud of myself for using towels to lessen the damage. David is more intelligent than me. This is not news to anyone.<br />

Several months later, and it is still working really well. We've had several hard rains, and all the cedar mulch has stayed in place. This might be because the garden was well-leveled, not that you will ever hear me say so in public.<br />

What is this, you might say? Well, we had extra boards and dirt, so......herb garden. David is mainly the master of the herb garden, picking out the plants and tending them. I felt bad, because we have a short, empty bed next to our kitchen, and David wanted to build a narrow, tall, tiered garden which would have looked amazing, but I threw a fit because it did not get very much sun, and I wanted things to thrive so I can eat them on a regular basis. He gave in, and I felt bad for crushing his dreams.<br />
<br />
But I really like it where it is now.<br />
