Gardening

I know, I know, I know.  I haven't posted in forever, and so I really ought to be posting something about my family, my baby that's 9 months old already, or some of the events that have transpired in the last months.  But all of that sounds like a lot of work.  Plus, we've had some computer issues that make me unable to post pictures.  And how can I post about my kids without including pictures?  So, instead of news on the family, you get some random thoughts. :)

I've gotten suddenly excited about gardening.  This spring I really didn't care about the flower bed, and never did anything with it.  But now that it's the middle of September, I'm all ready to go.  I've bought some perennials and I'm working on cleaning the grass out of the flower bed so I can plant them.  I also have plans for the garden.  I'm going to plant my seeds this fall so that the plants can start growing whenever they feel like in the spring.  I"m not going to plant them in rows, either.  I'm just going to toss them out there and they can grow wherever they choose.  Jef thinks I'm crazy.  But it can't really be any worse than this year's garden, which was planted on schedule in the spring in neat rows, but which seeds either never grew at all or died soon after emerging.  We did get a few tomatoes and some zucchini, but that's about it.  So, really, how much worse can it get by letting the plants choose their own spot and growing time?  Sounds like fun to me.
