Last week I improved an area next to our fence, and yesterday we spent several hours digging up and moving around plants that needed a better home.  This spring it was interesting to see where things started growing at, and the people who owned our house last had a bad sense of where to grow things.  Then this morning, our dumptruck load of dirt was brought in, and I spent several hours filling my new veggie beds with dirt.  I just know I&#8217;m going to sleep like a baby tonight.<br \/>\nI also started (but have not finished) reorganizing our spare bedroom\/sewing storage room.  I was inspired by an episode of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hgtv.com\">HGTV&#8217;s<\/a> Mission Organization and I ran to the room and started chucking things around.  Did I mention that it&#8217;s still not cleaned up yet?  It&#8217;s my plan for tomorrow morning since it&#8217;s supposed to rain, and I&#8217;m not about to move mud into my gardens.<br \/>\nAnd for the mean time, I&#8217;ve found some pretty interesting gardening tidbits at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.backyardgardener.com\/index.html\">Backyard Gardener<\/a>.  I really don&#8217;t have much of a backyard to garden, most of my gardening is done on my side yard, but the either way, it&#8217;s still a pretty good site.  They&#8217;ve got some really random links, but mixed in, there are some links that are good stuff.  It&#8217;s at least worth checking out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been spending considerably more of my time outside doing gardening than inside doing sewing lately, and I think my quilt is mad at me for doing so.
