The better part of today

sierciaconsisted of finishing up my little vegetable plot. I started it yesterday in the rain, but got driven inside by loud thunder and nearby lightening. As much as I'd like to go out hit by lightening, yesterday wasn't the day.
So, I finished up this morning, and I now have 4 tomato plants (a lemon boy, a marglobe and two I don't remember), 6 bell pepper plants, 6 cucumber plants, 2 acorn squash, 4 zucchini, 4 eggplant, and 3 yellow squash plantlings (all pretty much standard hybrids) out there. I got it all mulched over, and started sorting through the rocks to find good border rocks for the front, and Wiley did a couple of test seed spots for the grass seed we bought. We can' overseed the whole thing right now, because that takes a LOT of water, and we're under a water ban right now, but we can at least get some idea of how it will do, so we can try in the fall.
I also inherited some new plants from my neighbor, but I'm not sure what they all were. They're really pretty though, and she says they all grow like gangbusters, so I might have enough to transplant to other locations in the fall.
If any of you around Boston has any interest, I have a couple leftover acorn squash and zucchini seedlings. Let me know if you want them. Otherwise, they'll probably get a pot treatment, just to see what happens.
I must remember to order some earthworms and compost tea on Monday!
