It is 5 pm I have been at the garden since 10 am. I have been pretty pessimistic about this whole deal, Andrew calls it "my phases" because I go from happy to sad to angry to moany. SO I am all sorts of up and down and on top of it all I am sunburned. Big surprise I did wear sunscreen! Still got burned, the morning started off with hard work. My friend Logan and his wife Sarah came with their truck and I was able to transplant my precious eggplant to a garden box across the street along with some squash, pepper plants, and onions. I was trying to explain to Logan why I loved eggplant but he didn't think "just because they are pretty" was a good enough excuse to save them. The plants are all wilting pretty bad I tried to give them lots of water and the soil they are in is fantastic, so hopefully I will be able to salvage those. As for the other plants? well we got permission to use the lot next door for our garden needs but it is taking SO MUCH to clear it of weeds and overgrown brush. We have been weed whacking and pulling all day along with Liann and others that have stopped by for a few and helped out. By about 4 pm I was ready to die. The sun had taken all of my energy away, and I will be busy tomorrow *not with farmers market I would give that up for this* I feel bad for Andrew who has a massive rototiller and will be able to plant stuff again but it is just so much work!! I love these plants like pets I will be devastated if they die. We are giving up my beans and corn, those will most likely no survive the move, as well as our potatoes those were dug up just for fun, they were wee big. My yams! we had to let go of the yams, the broccoli and carrot and other random things that were growing. Scott! We wanted to keep this going partly for you buddy! I am so sorry I know you loved that garden just as much as we did, and it was fun finding all the treats you left behind to grow. I will always hold a certain affection for that back lot, my sweat and a little of my heart will be there always.
