First, right after posting how I was extremely unmotivated and miserable a few days ago, I went outside and ended up doing the whole new garden plot. Vampire had used the rototiller on a patch for me, with great difficulty (first, the rototiller had a gas leak, so he had to replace the hose, then, it's really not meant for breaking up sod), but it was mainly just broken up clumps of sod. I put dried grass clippings and a 5-gallon bucket of bunny manure on it, hosed it down, and covered with thick cardboard. Hopefully, it will break down, kill the sod, and the worms will work on it. We can till again in Spring.

I don't know how long it is, but it was about 80 inches wide, so that's what, about 6.5 feet? Maybe ten feet long. Measured the width to try to make it even, but it's still a bit wonky. It won't all be useable space, I'll at least need a border to keep the grass at bay. Maybe cardboard paths, though that might encourage the slug problem.

I wanted to put crushed eggshells, too, but forgot, and I'm not moving that cardboard patchwork to do it. Maybe I'll throw a few handfuls around the edges, so they can break down, too.

Some more of the pineapple sage blooms, though they looked better before frost. Speaking of which, we had our first frost a few days ago, I think maybe October 7th?

Got the Shirley Hammond multiplier onions and the Music garlic from Baker Creek planted in the main garden, though I planned to put elsewhere to save space. Whatever, they're in the ground. Also put in some from my elephant garlic patch (that was here when we moved in), just to have a backup. I've really wasted a lot of next year's garden space on garlic and onions - don't forget I already have Egyptian walking onions planted in it.

Send me a ✵ for my muses reaction to finding yours naked in bed waiting for me

Vidia stifled a yawn as she made her way out of the back room of her sour plumb tree; one of the perks of being distanced from the rest of Pixie Hollow was having the extra space. It had been a relatively long day of bring spring to the mainland, she was looking forward to having a good night's rest.

However, she gave a small jump as she noticed right away that her bed was not nearly as empty as she had anticipated. A light blush formed on the fairy's cheeks at seeing Milori - all of him, at that, waiting in her bed.

"Now, correct me if I'm wrong," she started with a light smirk. "But I don't believe this is setting up a formula that is conducive for winter fairies~"
