MBOFVG 2010 (Garden #5)

Mostly herbs at this point. Needs mulching.

When Pools Attack

Random Injury Report

Today I jammed my left pinkie so bad I wanted to scream. It was one of those how-stupid-was-that kind of injuries, too. I did it on the bottom of an inflatable kiddie pool of all places. Now it's black and blue and hurts like a @#$%*! This one's going to smart for a long time.
