trying to turn the brown thumbs to green...

This weekend in Costa Mesa has been one for the record books - early April, mid-80's temps, no wind, fridge full of beers, good moods all around= great weekend... throw in a baby shower, a few trips to both Lowes and Home Depot... we've really been getting in on the gardening/DYI lawn care... Last month I bought a lawn mover... yesterday I got a weed-wacker... In the last two days I've used them both and a hedger, trimer, chainsaw, fertilizer, multiple bags of miracle grow... we planted a bunch of flowers, a mexican lime tree... and about six different kinds of peppers: jalapeno, habanero, caribbean, serrano, cayenne and a couple others, along with rosemary, flowers, and some other crap... Fun stuff. We'll see how it all goes - Juli is the one that really inspired all of this, I think it's the whole "nesting" thing while pregnant... but whatever. I've been enjoying it cause Gramps is here he likes to help, but requires a 12-pack or two... so naturally I have to help him.
