sereneI did it! I went over and blocked off my squares, and now they're all planted. Behind the cut is a representation of what's planted where. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cassidyrose, hope you don't mind that I traded one of your cherry tomatoes for some strawberries and herbs.) (Eggplant will come later, as it has to be started inside, and bush beans will go in when something else is harvested or something. I got so many gifts that I didn't have room for everything, and I'm not gonna overplant. You hear me, rsc?)
I took off my shoes and walked in the moist earth, and it took me back to the days on the commune, but this time, I wasn't helping in someone else's garden -- this time I was growing what will please me and my family, and I felt all those feelings that make me start talking woo-woo language -- that connectedness, that sense that my roots go into the earth, all that stuff that for me requires absolutely no belief in a deity or a sentient earth. Anyway, it was glorious, and I'm covered in dirt and very happy.
Yay!

We opted not to plant anything that could cross-pollinate, because we want to save seed for next year...but it kinda sucks not being able to plant multiple varieties right here for the picking! (We did plant multiples of some things, but they're in other people's gardens.)
