Well this has been an adventurous week. This garden project was actually a Valentine's Gift from Daniel to me. Instead of giving me roses or flowers, he's given me a place to plant and grow some! It began with a trip to Home Depot. Whe
n I got home from work, Daniel had already started cutting the wood to the right size. We had decided on four plots to give us lots of space to grow some yummy edible green things. He worked so hard, and I was busy with homework and some of my own projects that he basically completed the project on his own. He purchased abou
t 12 bags of soil from Home Depot. However, after looking at Craigslist, he found someone giving out free Horse Poop! Woo Hoo!!! That meant that about 8 bags went back to Home Depot and some money went back into our pockets. On Saturday, his dad came over and helped for a few hours. Our friend Chris Brinkerhoff (who had lent us the truck to pick up the poop) came over as well with another wheelbarrow. What a guy! About 7:00 pm, Daniel and I finished
up the final touches (except for the watering system). He was so excited. After I walked inside, I heard him holler, "Yes! I did it!" He was really proud! And I must say that I am too. Thank you sweetie for an awesome Valentine's Gift. Now we just have to figure out how to keep the dogs from eating and playing in the poop... hmmm.... eewww!!!!
