Ms Maus + Garden Hose = Scary...

msfledermausAfter the nicest walk after a very nice dinner, I did a little yardwork. This is a new concept to me, since I haven't had a proper yard in ages. Peaty has been instructing me on the Way of the Garden, which mostly means I get to play with the garden hose a lot. I take a few minutes to untangle it, then untangle it some more from my ankle, then I try not to uproot the little shoots as they come up in my garden plot. I hose down the new rosebushes, flood the hostas, get the windowboxes my neighbor and I set on the porch, then blast Ben and Peaty's lilies for good measure. Then I wash off any mud on my legs, re-re-untangle the hose and turn off the water. (I think I need one of those hose-wrangler dealios. Home Despot is in my future, I fear.)
I'm very proud of the little garden. I have one (1) tomato on a vine in the back. I'm hoping like crazy it'll ripen and the squirrels won't munch it. Right now they're stuffing their cheeks with mulberries, so it could be safe for a while. I also have a hot pepper plant named Taquito, who has gotten so big he needs two wood supports to stay upright in his box. He had a bazillion flowers this spring, and now I have seven (7) red peppers and countless green ones not yet ripe. I'm going to dry them on the stove for a while, or maybe put them very carefully in the oven and dry them that way. (I know not to put the heat up, or I will gas myself and the neighborhood with pepper smoke.) My white pumpkin plant is starting to get big, and the morning glories are attacking their supports so quickly it's a little frightening. I probably should take pictures of all this, huh? Bad Maus...
So anyway, to sum up: Professor Sprouts Correspondence Course for Magickal Gardening is coming right along, thank you:)
