Today I interviewed, took a nap, dabbled in despondency (because I won't know for another week or two if I got the job), and then got back up off my ass and played in the dirt. I gave all my little plants a nice dirt hug, and I feel much better now. Here's how the garden is looking:
As you can see, it's actually GROWING, although I did do some rearranging after giving up on some seeds: lettuce, onions, and tomatoes. I have also declared a soap and peppermint solution war on the critters eating my future food. Next lines of attack will be corn meal and beer dishes, respectively. What's growing: 3 different types of squash, as well as chard, eggplant, green beans, cucumber, snow peas, carrot/radish mix, okra, hot peppers, tomatillos, tomato transplants, herb transplants, strawberry transplants.

| Future Serrano pepper. |
 |
| Jalepeno plant coming back to life with a couple of flowers. (Anybody know how to get a tilde on the 'n' in jalepeno?) |
 |
| Radishes and Carrots. I got to pluck the first radish yesterday and it was quite tasty! |
I love passing go in the dirt. Although, I do wonder if I might be a bit of a weirdo: I hate thinning and discarding the overcrowded seedlings. There's got to be some sort of existential hangup in there...
