Weekend Recap

[nekosensei]

Friday, doomsey and I got Mexican food for dinner and then we went to voidness' place where we watched Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark and Time Bandits. I hadn't seen the first one in ages and I had never seen the second one. I enjoyed both.

On Saturday, doomsey and I celebrated Passover with his folks.

Today, I did work outside. I removed the tarp from the old vegetable garden, cleared the area underneath it of weeds, and loosened up the soil there. Tomorrow, I want to put some fertilizer down and, in early May, I hope to plant a vegetable garden. So far, I have summer squash, watermelon, cucumber, sweet corn, and winter squash. I also want to put tomato plants and eggplant out there. I also ordered two hanging baskets with strawberry plants in them. Tomorrow, in addition to buying fertilizer, I want to buy some chicken wire to keep the squirrels and rabbits out. I was also thinking about buying a little plastic owl with a motion detector in it to scare critters away. Does anybody else have any other ideas as to protecting the plants from critters? I heard that predator urine also scares them away, but from what I heard, it has to be male or something, and, well, doomsey doesn't want to participate in that. I also heard that scoopings from the cat box may work too...

This is the first time I'm planting a vegetable garden. This is going to be a learning experience for me. I have a feeling that, if I fail spectacularly, doomsey will continue telling me I have a brown thumb and he will make fun of me in general.

This evening, doomsey and I went out to get all you can eat sushi and then we took a three mile walk. Then, we watched an episode of Doctor Who.

By the way... nekosensei <-- very tired...

I had had had to get chemical help. a week after I planted lillies last year the leaves had been stripped bare by the rabbits in my sub. I am planting squash this year since I use so damn much making soup, and I would like for it to get to the point of having little fruits for me to pick.
