Garden

I've officially given up on the garden space behind our garage (along the back alley) since we never see it (and hence forget to water, weed or even take the produce from the plants) and since Joshua recently scrapped off all the old paint from the garage wall, which then got into the soil.  So we are instead planting sustainable (and free) plants we received from friends: rose of sharons!  Hooray.  They are just sticks now but I'm hoping that in the next few years we will have a great row of bushes.  Alma was a great help with the planting and James sat contently digging in the dirt until the planting was completely.  A minor miracle and a fun project!  Now just to remember to water them occasionally.
