...then amiable dinner with the roommates, and now sleep on freshly washed blankets & sheets with rats who love me cause I gave them chickenbones. Er, not to bed with rats, they're just in the room.

Compost

I get 6 m^3 of compost delivered Friday. Yay!

Front Bed

I've got the lumber for my front bed now, save the 4x4 I need to grab from Chris (Chris, is it possible for you to leave this right outside your apartment in the back somewhere so I can pick it up?)

So, first to do is finish flattening the back, so it's ready for the compost to come on Friday. Second is to put the front bed together and dig it into the turf a couple of inches. That should take me to Friday easily, and then I newspaper and fill.

Whew. This is my first projecty-thing I'm doing myself.

Raining, Pouring?

So, as detailed below, good social stuff, I AM BUILDING MY OWN GREENHOUSE, many kinds of tomatoes, lots of garden space, good roommates. But, it never rains but it pours!

I now have occasional work with a set of 'interior landscapers' - will be working downtown at a hotel planting annuals on a rooftop garden one day this month, so far, which will nicely pay for the greenhouse.

If it stays nice and occasional that's good, cause I only have a couple of days per month to spare, but this way I get a taste of 'we work whether or not it's raining' sorta stuff.

Wow. This is thanks to my cool roommate, btw.
