I was all productive yesterday, and finally got my vegetable garden in! Weeding, mixing in triple mix and compost, and finally planting. It's pathetic when compared to the amazing vegetable garden next door (where the old italian lady just kicks ass at vegetables), but I am excited for tomatoes and basil, nonetheless. (I am unsure of whether the cucumber, dill and coriander will forgive me for having to live on the porch for so long.)

Today, Scott and I met one-third of our new neighbours. She seems really nice, and we got a tour of their house. Holy shit, do they have their work cut out for them. Also found out that her partner is a guy I know from my second year university - we lived in the same residence. Funny! We weren't great friends or anything, but we hung out sometimes, and he was really nice, so it's pretty cool. And they have a two year old boy, which could be fun. I like kids (especially when they belong to someone else). I think she was worried that I didn't like kids, because Scott and I had told her about the kids who used to live in their house, and I quickly explained that I like them when they're nice, and those kids weren't. All they did was yell at their dog (while swearing), steal my tomatoes, and cut through our yard to steal vegetables out of the italian women's amazing garden. But I said that if her son was nice, then it was okay for him to steal my tomatoes.

Huh. While I was trying to plug the laptop into the battery just now, I somehow minimized the screen. Don't know how I did that, though.

Anyway. For those of you in Canada, I hope you have a wonderful Canada Day long weekend. If you're elsewhere, I still hope you have a great weekend. :)

The dill forgives you. Dill forgives EVERYTHING. :D

Yay vegetable garden! I'm jealous.

Nope, no backyard -- just parking lot and gravel. We could possibly do planters, I suppose. There's a bit of front yard but it's definitely the landlord's and full of dog poop.

And who am I kidding, I could never maintain a vegetable garden. I managed to have some lettuce and carrots one summer as a kid but their survival should definitely be credited to my dad. :D

I hope the dill forgives me! It's so yummy. (Sadly, something ripped out the really sad looking dill plant last night, so I only have one left. And it did the same to a coriander plant. And then left a lovely piece of bird right next to the garden. Stupid animal!)

It's too bad you can't use a piece of yard at your place for a garden. Is there a backyard? The front is all overgrown trees and plants, right?

Yeah, we were there all weekend. Sorry I missed your call!

It's Steve, who was in Arts House in my second year. He hung out with Lynn, Amy and Raquel a lot.

He still works there, but yes, that is him.

Who accidentally dyed themselves green?
