Garden!
I finally finished digging up at 9.5 x 6 foot garden plot in my back yard!  I bought $18 worth of compost from Breaking New Grounds (a company that collects all Heine Bros. Coffee coffee grounds and composts them in to rich soil!) this morning and mixed it in with my mediocre soil in the back.  I shoveled out a path in the middle of my garden, so now I have two 4x6ft plots!  I'm looking into path ideas: I have rocks and some wooden landscaping planks, but we'll see.  Now to plan out the planting part... can't wait to eat fresh spinach right out of the yard!

eat well,
Rachel
