Gardening

Since I started running I got this crazy idea in my head. I can do anything. So I have started chopping out a little piece of earth 10 feet by 30 feet. At the moment I am carefully removing the top layer of grass to trans plate it in the front of the house in an area I am not interested in keeping plants. It is close to the driveway and people constantly walk on it. Anyhow, my arm is killing me from demudding the piece of sod before moving it.

This evening I went to Lowes to get chicken wire to go around it. This week I am hosting an Easter playgroup and we are going to be outside. I want to make sure the area I am ripping up is fenced off so kids don't get into it and get muddy. After 3 hours I am almost done moving enough grass to fill the area I am covering. It is much harder and heavier than I thought and much more work to do it right which I my plan.

After the grass moving I am going to just rip up the remained of the grass. Not sure where I am going to put it. Then up with the wire fence and metal rods. Still thinking of an idea for a gate but at the moment I think I am going to attach it the neighbors fence. I need to turn the dirt over, at least o foot deep. Ugh, its all clay. Went to the store and bought something to make clay plantable and organic moss that helps everything take root naturally and cheap. Hope to finish all that and get plants as soon as possible. Getting the plants will be difficult. The race is Saturday, Easter Sunday, closed daily before Keith gets home and I can get over there. I guess it is going to be the trailer, me and four kids, hopefully a kind sales assistant to get the cart and plants. It is amazing how so many people will stand there and watch you struggle. Unfortunately those big plant carts need to be pushed and so does the stroller, neither moves correctly backwards. So please be helpful there.

Anyhow I need to get off here. I still haven't checked my email and my right hand and arm kill.
