Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary...

I'm not sure what's going on with Scuba, but he has been quite domestic lately. In the course of one week, he built, yes BUILT, a composter, and planted a garden in my backyard. We have been wanting to purchase a composter for some time now, but they are kind of expensive, or not that great. So Scuba got out the hammer, and built one. As we speak it is full of rotten food. Yum.



Scuba has also planted some veggies, and is more excited abuot the growth of a leaf of lettuce than anything else right now. It's sad really that watching seedlings grow is our chosen form of entertainment at the time. Needless to say, things are growing, and hopefully in 70-90 days we will be rolling in veggies...or digging up dead plants because it is too hot here to grow even dirt...




This is corn. I'm not sure my neighbors will appreciate the 9 foot corn stalks if these little plants survive.


These are little cucumber seedlings currently living in a plastic box on my kitchen table.

Holy crap! You're growing things! Live things to take care of that aren't cats that mostly take care of themselves. Good for you!

Much love at you!
