We plant.

Tomorrow marks the offical "safe" time to plant here, so we (like most of the rest of the folks around here) loaded up on plants. We went to a cool nursery a ways out of town - you take Joe Orr Road and turn left. But since it's out of our usual way, *finding* said road was a bit of a challange. Once we finally got ourselves pointed in the right direction, it was a surprising change from the usual business of suburbia to farmland in about a quarter of a mile. Much hilarity ensued at the actual nursery - vines to swing on! (Yes, to the yikes.) Peter exclaimed in a patch of hibiscus, "It is like a real forest!" and two college-aged girls cooed and awwwwwed over how cute he was. Too bad they missed the vine episode, which was decidedly less cool.

We bought a few replacement plants (hydrangia, rose) and a few additions of good things we already have and need more of (beebalm, coral bells) plus herbs and some assorted vegetables - nowhere near our usual huge tomato bonanza, but we'll do some carrots and lettuce and beant to make up for it. Plus lots of basil, some other herbs, and some odds and ends, all of which have to wait until I can finish weeding the vegetable patch and repair the rabbit fence, but I hope that's tomorrow.







Also tomorrow, I'm running in the Y-Me 5K downtown, which should be good early healthy fun, followed by bagels somewhere unfancy since I'll be sweaty. Then home to plant, which is not a bad way to spend the day.
