Garden 2012.0
It’s only midway through March, but I’m moving forward on this year’s garden. I yanked a shit ton of weeds out of the garden beds and replaced them with a fabulous menagerie of vegetables.
Left to right – Lettuce, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, hot peppers, broccoli, onions, asparagus
Note the glamorous compost pile wall next to the random concrete footing. I think you call that folk art.
This bed used to be a real mess. Had a lot of weeds and coneflower in it. It has tomatoes, basil and oregano in it so far.
Comparison
Lisa Frank vs. Ed Hardy
And the world champion of sauce goes to…
I just want everyone to know that I’ve finally reached a conclusion about an important matter -
THIS IS THE BEST TACO SAUCE THE WORLD HAS MADE SO FAR:
World Champion
Made just down the road, in fabulous Kansas City, Kansas. High five you guys, great job!
The Lawn Experiment
So I have this terrible lawn. I mean, after years of abuse and neglect by the house’s former owners, the only things that grow there are weeds – predominantly henbit and dandelions.
So I’m taking up the challenge of taming this beast. I got my weed killer, fertilizer, and 3 types of grass seed.
I made a site diagram that would make Olmstead tear up at the sight of it.
Just put on the weed and feed, so let’s see what happens.
Moving along on furniture
Well now I’m committed. These things came in the mail.
Good looking set of hairpin legs to go on whatever furniture I can sling together here.
On the Horizon for 2012
Hellooooooo again!
Been a while, eh?
Well I’m super stoked. About a whole lot of things, but three things are really at the front burner these days.
1.) I’m finally making furniture again. It’s going to be real whackadoo, but let’s face it, I am a whackadoo. Separate post to follow.
2.) More things to make – I’ve been talking the talk about making a pair of plus fours for like, half a decade now, and I think I’m finally going to walk the walk, sew the sew… or whatever. Everyone on the golf course is going to be all like, “By jove, Stanley, look at her, isn’t’ she the most fashionable lady golfer you ever did see?” And that’s when I turn and give them a good cheesy wink, like “Oh, I am so glad you noticed my fine attire, fellow golf lovers!” Then we drink High Lifes and eat hot dogs at the clubhouse after a fantastic round of golf where I actually break 100. Separate post to follow as well.
3.) Chicago trip! I’m super stoked about this because I get to see two of my favorite ladies, Sally and Tina – hey-ooooh! AND I’m finally seeing Chicago. In my mind it will basically be a reenactment of Ferris Bueller, or maybe even better. Possibly involving a yacht full of deep dish pizza.
Music for a Sunday Morning
All morning I’ve been catching up on blogotheque.net – it’s been months since I visited their awesome site. Anyway, I’ve got to move on with my day, but check out this video from the Mexican band Los Weeds-
