Hey, I have been working on 'working' the soil for the past two days and I am sore from that + work. Ow. We have been meeting so many of our neighbors since we've been out working on this ghastly project. It has been fun. My goal (which is seemingly less visible) was to have everything planted before AZ. We've finally finished manually tilling the dirt. Now we have to add soil , plant food seed and more soil. UGHHHHH. Its not really that annoying, just a lot of work. I've actually become REALLY obsessed with it. And I think it might be the coolest thing I've ever done. And once the plants start growing.....even just sprouting, I will be freaking out.
We started this project and since then they passed a bill where you don't have to have a permit to garden in these spaces anymore (I think its weird that you did). So hopefully a lot of people will be turning these spaces into food gardens!
I will be on a bus at 5.38 tomorrow morning heading to the airport. My flight leaves at 7.28 and I get into Phoenix at 1.10 pm. I'm sure I'll be exhausted since it will be non stop hanging out and telling people that "No, I don't have a job using my degree yet". I'm already irritated just thinking about that part. But mostly I'm so excited. A lot of people rsvp'd to my facebook invite to hang out at Casey Moore's and go to Manuel's tomorrow night. I think like 19 people so far. Weird. I forgot how many friends I have there.
Anyways. Gardenzzzzzzzzzzzzzz time!

ReplyDeleteNeighbors and gardens!!! How fun!! Besides the birth of a baby, a seed growing into something has got to be the most fascinating thing. I'm almost 50 and I will never fascinating thing. I'm almost 50 and I will never get over the wonder of it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a blast with all your friends and the time stands still while you're there. It will be soothing just to know you're a little closer in proximity to us for a few days:)
