Projects

Planted the garden today:

Five tomatoes, two red peppers (still determined to get more than 1 red pepper per plant),

one green pepper, one anaheim pepper, two cucumbers, two squash and two zucchini (just tried three times to spell zucchini until I finally looked it up. If I ever get Alzheimers, you saw it here first when my AWARD WINNING spelling started to go).

Decided not to plant lettuce (season's too short), carrots (too much work to thin, they're short and stubby and so easy to just buy in the store. Do they even taste different?), or beets (see carrots).

But the lettuce has reseeded itself, to which I say thank you and we'll try to remember not to buy any for a while so we actually use it.

Also a few beets, carrots and lots of cliantro. Amazing.

Strawberry plants and herbs are perennials and look great already.

Nick, Noah and Ottle, have been hard at work on their Physics bridges for a week now.

WAY longer than the one night I spent putting mine together almost 40 years ago!

They keep testing them hanging a Home Depot bucket around the middle with a chain and then adding weights to the bucket. Nick's keeps breaking when the weights are released. 

He keeps repairing and trying again.

You know what would be great? 

If they had these types of projects all year through.
