We spent Sunday with [personal profile] guardianjain and [personal profile] wetdryvac. In the morning we went to the farmers market and picked up food and more plants, and then off to the antique shop to browse around. While we were there, [personal profile] rialian found a book which had singularly impressed me many years ago. It was, Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Seuss. I had owned this book when I was a small kid, and then later I wasn't sure if it actually existed. Oobleck... it's green, and it sticks to everything, and now it sits on our bookshelf...

Anyway, then we went back home to work in the garden. We put in a lot more of the raised, sheet mulched keyhole beds this weekend. [personal profile] wetdryvac took some pictures of the garden and what we've been working on recently. Rialian has pictures of previous stages, but I haven't posted them yet. Will do that later. This particular set shows the beds and paths pretty well. http://picasaweb.google.com/wetdryvac/WVGardening?authkey=Gv1sRgCOuv54yzxZ7GJQ#

Oooh, I like seeing the blank slate starting to fill in.

And my goodness, I remember making oobleck in science class in elementary school, but I never knew the name came from a Dr. Seuss book. Wow.
