Wow, I am worn out. Kristen, I'm sorry that you're going back for round 2 without me. You are a brave, strong woman.
Our gardening neighbors do seem nice. Philip's wife was Molly. Philip, Molly and I bonded over Seed Savers. They ordered multi-colored chard from them - seriously, the chard has five different color stalks. It made me wish I had gotten fun, colorful varieties. What about white eggplant? Helpful Shirtless Guy was nice, if a bit strange. Did he really call one of us Martha? I missed that. I also like how diverse the Hopkins Community Garden community seems to be.
Anyway, I'm excited for this adventure.

The beginning
So, the purpose of this blog is to tell our story. Well kind of. It's also to determine who has watered and what needs to be done when. And post pictures!
Today, Alexis and I started the garden. It mainly involved a lot of weeding, and a lot of dirt. We also made our first garden friends. There was the helpful guy without a shirt making dirty "hoe" jokes. He may have nicknamed me and/or Alexis Martha, but we'll see if it sticks. We also met Phillip (?) and his wife I think...I didn't catch her name.
Sadly, neither of us could find our cameras, cuz the amount of dirt on both of our faces was to the amusing level.
For tomorrow: Weeding II, return of the weeds.
