my prediction in the last post came true. i haven’t touched the hose since i started gardening. since i got the garden we have had less than 7 days of complete sun, and 0 days of weather above 70 degrees. it’s may 2nd today! gross!

this is a crappy picture, but you can see the amount of progress i’ve been able to make. it is not a lot. that’s why i haven’t been posting. speaking of lack of progress, do you see that fucking rhubarb in the background? i spent over 2 hours digging that shit out and there’s still a ton of it that i couldn’t get rid of. rhubarb is perennial and has rhizomes rather than roots. it can live for up to 15 years, if not longer. i pulled out enough of it to fill up that giant ace hardware bag like 2/3rds of the way. estimated weight was around 30 pounds, if not more. i fucking hate rhubarb. i didn’t get a picture of the rhizomes, but luke said it looked like a big pile of dog dicks, so you can use your imagination there.

PEAS IS SPROUTS

it took forever but i finally have peas. sorta.

they are much stubbier than the ones i grew in la. i think that’s probably partly the temperature and partly the incredibly soggy soil. these are the only ones that survived from my initial planting, but i’ve planted like 12 feet of one kind and 6 feet of another kind so i’m sure some will survive out of all that.
