The Chronic (what) cles of Narnia!

But this was no Lazy Sunday. Busy busy busy in the dojo, or more accurately this time of year 'out' of the dojo. The herb garden (make sure you pronounce that H, it's just fun!) has been such a hit and the tomato plant is growing so much I finally talked Krista into a small raised garden. More than anything it was an excuse to hit up the Genghis Grill for lunch, conveniently located across the street from Lowes. :)

This is just a simple 4 ft by 8 ft raised garden. We've got about 11 plants in there all spread out and ready to grow. More tomato's! Peppers, watermelon (fun fact about the watermelon, did you know that if you don't know the words to a song on the radio you can just mouth watermelon over and over again and it will look VERY believable, what a clever fruit!), cucumbers and several other things I will never eat. I think pretty much anyone who is reading this knows what a picky eater I am so no further explanation should be required. Krista has promised some homemade and fresh spaghetti and pizza sauces. Yay!

Start with just some 2x4x8's. And make a box. Just a little weed barrier at the bottom.




Then we add a lot of good soil.



Here's Raimo, this is about as helpful as he gets.





Mikka oversaw the project.


Couple cages for the various tomato's.

Here is a video of the cicadas, you may have to turn it up, that's more about our camera than it is about them. We are in a mild area of middle TN for these too, just a bit south and they are much more annoying. That noise just never goes away for about a month. Or, we have the noisiest trees in the world.
