My garden is in

I now have 4 days until I leave for my 2 weeks of activities. Of course I have lots to do to get ready. I am now in the mode of what absolutely needs to be done before I go. I decided that it wouldn't be good to plant my garden the end of June so that was today's project. I spent this morning getting things ready for Mike to go back to work so I started gardening about noon. It was cloudy but very warm (for a change). I was sure that it was too hot to plant the entire garden, but I would see how much I could do. Since I live in Nevada, it wasn't too long before the weather changed. I had my seed packages laid out in categories, root plants, squash type plants, etc. Dark, dark clouds rolled in and it was windy and started to sprinkle. I gathered up my seeds and prepared to head inside when it stopped sprinkling. So it was back to planting. I got everything planted except for a few of my potatoes and my herbs. Then the dark clouds rolled in yet again and rain was threatening. I still had to fill up my walls of water. I was able to get my tender little tomatoes protected and then it decided not to rain. It doesn't matter now, I'm ready for it. I'm kinda sad to miss watching the plants pop up but when I come home 3 weeks after my planting, I should have everything up. You will notice that there are no pictures. It was all I could do to just get them in the ground.

I think the next thing to top my list is getting ready for Wood Badge. A lady from Elko is going to meet up with me in Elko and give me a ride to camp and then back to Elko. She was kind enought to say she will bring my stuff from Elko for me. Mike got the tent and sleeping bag out for me. Now I just need to hem pants and sew on patches. I don't like to hem pants and I don't like to sew on patches. I will keep telling myself to hurry and get it done and be through with it.

I'm jealous, you got your garden planted in one day. Granted, it was a long day, but I've been planting for 6 weeks and am not quite done.
