Gardening news and other stuff

Yesterday I went to the nursery and found out that they had no garlic or rhubarb yet. Apparently these are imported, and all the shipments are hung up in Customs. Oh well, all the more time to get my beds ready. I started them exactly the wrong way -- I should have laid my paths first, double-dug the beds, and then graded them immediately . I also thought I could mark off my squares by laying bamboo stakes across the ground (two minutes this morning showed me that sticks weren't going to work.)

So more digging and leveling ahead, and spikes and string to mark off my squares. I am going to have a whole big pile of "extra" dirt and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. I did plant my very first square of mesclun this morning!

My husband is going on a retreat this weekend. He is leaving tonight and will be back on Sunday. Prayers for a safe trip and a fruitful retreat would be greatly appreciated -- thanks!
