getting stuff done


done: i mixed 1 part vermiculite, 1 part worm compost, & 1 part fresh compost from under the arbor vitae (see last post) to form a seed starting mix. on sunday i planted a small variety of veggies & flowers. by this morning (6 days later) already germinating were dill, carrot, sunflowers and forget-me-nots. (sorry about the sad pic)





done: cleared some of the gobs of leaves away from the front flower bed to discover more plants coming up including lily of the valley, hosta, & allium.


done: trying to repel the rabbits from all these newly uncovered greens by spreading around some hot chili peppers that didn't get picked last year. we'll see. i have pretty tenacious rabbits.


done: cancelled cable. after much discussion we area actually very excited about not having the distraction on cable TV. we will still be able to get our video entertainment from streaming internet, dvd's, etc.
going shopping tomorrow to find a stereo to fill the empty wall where we will remove the big hunk of plastic we used to be chained to. the goal is to renovated the living room before easter when family comes over. next up: eco-friendly paint samples.
