As part of a way to erase ANY of my doings of my relationship with Emi, Emi has started to take apart the raised garden bed I built a couple of years ago. When in bloom, it looks pretty darn good. When people walked by, they always commented on both sides of the yard. (the bed was on one side of the side walk, the house and garden on the other...) Over the next few months, I'll be hauling this rather heavy building stones down to my parents. I'm building a new at their house. Funny thing is, it's gonna be right next to a path also!

I find gardening (as well as beating the crap out of people's yards aka yardwork) theraputic or something. There's something wonderful about creating a workspace, planting, watching it grow and to see if you can nurture it. And if the plants don't work out, then you try something else or plant it again!

13 bricks. My car can't hold many more cuz these things weigh quite a bit. I thought they were were 12 lbs but I can single curl a 12lb weight. These feel closer to 30. So while 13 have been transfered, I have 4x more to go or so.


Of all the plants I wanted kept from the old bed, Emi was kind enough to keep my black mondo grass and my blood grass. I didn't realize Blood Grass went dormant (ie; the grass dies and comes back) so I was pulling them out cuz I didn't think they rooted. But it turns out they did! These will be the border of the bed.
