#zone 7a

By which I mean I lugged a 50 lbs bag of soil out of the shed and spread it to top off one section of the beds, and then bought and lugged around six 25 lbs bags and spread them as well.

Then I carried all of my seed starters from the front of the house to the back and nestled them in to maintain moisture at the bottoms, not sure how much it'll help but whatever.

Then I planted the 2 tomatoes and 4 (!! Eek, they only had 4 packs so I might cull it down to 1 or 2 later in the season) cayenne peppers from the dreaded Home Depot, and a bunch of marigolds!

I might have 2 more successful tomato plants, a cucumber, a zucchini, and two flowers from my seed starts. I didn't have the space to start them indoors so I left them outside for the last 5 weeks or so. :/ Listen, it's been a stressful couple of months.

But man oh man do I feel satisfied and accomplished! Doing this all on my own. The last few weeks have been rough and even tho I might not be here in a few weeks to enjoy any of these veg, it's been good and fun for me. Moving out of this house this soon definitely wasn't in my plans... breaking up wasn't either but here we are... for now.
