So here’s a quick update – I realize that I ramble sometimes and people ain’t got all day…
Sunday:

Before heading over to Fridays After 5 last night, Kurt and I stopped by the garden to plant some more carrot seeds. There are only two little tiny plants popping up and it’s been awhile since we planted. Not sure if it’s the soil or what…so we tried to plant a few rows again.
