weekend works.

austin and i got to work on our garden this weekend. we bought our seeds and jiffy pots to get the seeds going in. after a few weeks, we'll be able to transfer the little plants to the garden, once it's staying warm.

here's austin adding water to the jiffy pots.

{please excuse the ugly green couch. the couch cover was in the wash}

i think these are beet seeds {yuck, i know}.

all of our seeds planted and ready to grow.

so far we've got:
lettuces.
spinach.
beets.
broccoli.
cucumbers.
carrots.
onions.
potatoes.
strawberries.
and austin plans to buy an already growing heirloom tomato plant.

i can't wait to get them out to the garden!

austin, steve and taylor went on saturday morning to get the dirt for our garden outside. somewhere around here there is a mushroom farm and after a few uses of the really rich soil they sell the compost. so that's what we've got in our yard, waiting to be put into the box. and it stinks to high heaven. juliet, however, thinks it smells awesome. so she rolls in it. thus, requiring a bath.

bath time for juliet!

all clean!

and lastly, just a little picture of copper i'd like to share. this is how he sleeps.

all flattened out. he looks like a copper skin rug. cracks me up.

so that was our weekend, for the most part. i hope you all had a great weekend, too!
