AHHAHAH.

My local public radio is apparently off air. Static is not an effective alarm clock (and I won't listen to my internal one, it says I wake up at 4:45. On sunday. No.)
Uhg, gotta get moving.

That's as close to gardening as I'll ever get.

That was sort of what I was hoping for. I do think there will be a lot of digging regardless, since the (10x10) back yard has basically been wild for years.
Jesse, let me put in a quick plug for Jennifer Convertible, which really was one of the more comfortable sofas that I've sat (and later slept) on. My very picky aunt, who also has a small oodle of money, bought two after sitting on my Mom's new sofa.
Timelies all!
Weather here continues to be weird. Nice and sunny yesterday, but they're predicting some sort of snow/rain mix tonight into tomorrow. Hope the hyacynths don't die.
Yeah, I had a great one from Jennifer. Really sturdy and comfortable.
Too bad they don't have stores here, and I am now convinced I can't buy anything without sitting on it first. If only I were still in Queens!

That's gardening!
I grew up with the whole digging twice, amending the soil, etc. process and, you know, sometimes plants just die even if you do everything right and sometimes they thrive if you literally stick cut stems in the ground and water them occasionally (literally how I grew my california lavender out front, it is taller than me and trying to take over the walkway). Don't let how you should be doing it stop you from half-assed gardening if that's all you're really up for. It can be very rewarding.
There's a furniture refurb place here that does things like that, maybe there's one around where you live.
If it were in better shape, I prbably would, but it's been picked on by the cats and is definitely showing it's age, so it probably mean repair and slipcover. I think we're starting to talk more money than it cost.
Jesse, are you planning to grow veggies? You might want to get the soil test for lead content. (The soil around here is high in lead, so I built raised bed for veggies and added all new soil.) Otherwise, I would just buy bags of compost and add it in to your new soil.

Yeah, no. Sure, test your soil to make sure it wasn't a dumping ground for a 19th century paint manufacturer. But if it isn't half cadmium and half lead, put in some two-foot high walls on it, fill 'em with good soil, and plant there. Less tilling, less bending, and if you stay on top of mulching and water right (at the roots with a drip hose, not a sprinkler), less weeding.
