Peas!

So two weeks ago or less, I seeded an entire tray with peas (about 108 i think) pots, and now they are all about two inches tall and leafing out!

Suddenly I’m not sure what I’m going to do with 108 pea seedlings so far in advance. I cant plant them since we are moving, and buy a huge amount of box planters is expensive.. and we are moving in june…

I think I will have to buy a bunch of planters and see what happens. Weed out the weak ones and plant a good dozen or two dozen…

Can you pickle peas in a jar??

No signs of any sprouts on my capsicums / bell peppers or my celery yet…

Breakfast Club on AMC

So I’m watching one of my fav films on the AMC (some cable channel). And… what? the? f… they replaced bender saying “eat my shorts” with “eat my socks” apparently ‘shorts’ its an offensive word..

how ridiculous.

Gardening

Since this house we want to buy (are trying to buy) has a yard..  I’ve been planning my veggie patch and garden… I’ve already gone a bit extravagant with my design.. ohwell. Its been sooo long since I’ve had my own patch…

Last weekend Joy and I went out to the hardware store and got several packets of seeds and things to start some seedlings in for this coming year. Beans, Tomatoes, Celery, Peas, Watermelon, Bell Peppers, lots of herbs. I’ll have read potatoes and sweet potatoes too probably since they are easy peasy…

Ideally I’d like to have raised box gardens so I dont have to mess about with digging and crap..

Oh and I can start a compost bin… Sweeeeeet.

I’ve even been looking up horticulture classes but these things all want like X many credits of English, X many of math etc. Which is not what I want at all.

Mortgages

Boy arnt mortgages fun! We had to sign a bazillion papers the other night and it still keeps coming. The worst thing is I have to product two years of work history which I dont have here in America, then there was my two year work absense from hiking and waiting for a work permit.

Thats always fun to explain…

So heres to hoping we get a mortgage… :/
