I'm doing more planning than planting right now, Tupp.
Youngest dd and I went to BB Barnes Nursery today... so many lovely things. We bought a few small things for the stone gardens. I love to see her eyes light up. We sat in the sun, and drank cool beverages. Not a cloud in the sky... almost too hot, but the shade was perfect.
I guess I planted 4 things today, and have so many to go. Creeping Jenny from the neighbor's yard, hosta, Scotch Moss, and something I've had sitting in pots for years..... they really need care, and they'll get it tomorrow.
The soil, for the most part, needs to be well drained, and it's not. I add sand, and Nature's Helper to the soil.... lots of soil coming from leaf piles... dark, lovely stuff, that.
The Pug is in the yard, off leash, when big black dog comes by with neighbor. Pug learning better manners, and it's good she's motivated by treats.
Ahhh.... I
am
sleepy.
We had roast Cuban pork for dinner. The roast marinated 2 days in the fridge. I like it with black beans, and raw sweet onions doused in lemon juice/bitter orange, oregano, then oil, just at the smoking point, poured over in a big sizzle.... I do that outside. It's a really nice meal, and just as nice without rice. I like lots of jalapenos int he beans, and a bit of tomato paste with caramelized onions, and garlic.
We all enjoy that meal, and it's reasonable if I have all the spices on hand. Aldi's has nice veggies, and meats are good too.... organic black beans inexpensive... fresh jalapenos. They have a tart lime seasoning called Tajin. The leftovers are just as good the next day, and beyond. It's nice having mommy food w/o blowing up the kitchen.
About shared housing.... there are large houses I've read about where people can rent single rooms, and share common meals and food. If someone wants meat, they have to bring their own in. It sounded good to me. I think you'll find a better living situation, and garden to play in, Tupp.
What a beautiful day.... I'll sleep well.
