i spent too much time setting this up. we’re supposed to get a week of storms starting tomorrow night, but in la that doesn’t really mean anything. as soon as the sprinkles start, it’s STORMWATCH 2009 and all the anchors are out on the street in fishermans’ raincoats. it might get maybe 2 inches over a week. (everybody who doesn’t live in california can stop laughing thank you) it doesn’t sound like we’re supposed to get wind, but i’m going to go check on the nets if we get any breaks in the rain before next weekend. in the back you can see i kind of made a tent over the sprouts that are up, and in front i just sort of stretched it really tight. i think i need to go back tomorrow with some sort of mallet to hammer in the stakes a little more.

the peas have definitely been pecked at, so i think this will give at least the ones towards the middle a break. i don’t see anything from any of the carrot seeds i planted, and it’s been almost 3 weeks. the radishes are all thriving, so at least i’m doing something right there. my lettuce is slowly coming up, and maybe around christmas i’ll be making salads. that would be pretty awesome.

a couple of my friends came to check out the garden today, which was super cool - i hadn’t had any visitors before this - but when we got there i discovered i do not have a snail problem. i have a RAVEN problem. there were about 4 or 5 of them pecking the hell out of my baby bok choy. i guess now i’ll have to make little cages or nets or something to protect my plants. ugh.

everything looks great, but i was retarded and forgot my camera at the office, so i have to go back in the morning to take pictures. we are supposed to get at least 4-5 straight days of rain next week, so i’m not watering until the storm passes. hopefully i will have something exciting to put here tomorrow.
