Saturday August 20th

Ginny finished the path adjacent to plot 23: looks great. Cleared off the remaining dried up weeds from the plot and worked on the final border path. It is a bit more difficult to get the lines straight- Ed helped dig and made a few trips to get wood chips. I think that I rushed in laying out the path guide lines because I did not want him to wait. I am eager to finish the border paths so we can begin the raised beds and fence but might have to redo some of the stuff I did today because it isn't right. The lines were crooked because of the humps of dirt and still living ( although almost dead) stuff  growing on the plot 23 side. I think that plot 23 is part of the Plot 21 ladies because when they cleaned up stuff along the plot fence, I saw that plot 23 is FILLED with peppers- a trade mark of the plot 21 ladies.
Worked about 90 minutes in the afternoon- it was very humid and I was muddy and sweaty because of all of the rain from last night's deluge. The rain collects on the tarps and picking up the dried up weeds was a smelly and dirty job.
While I enjoyed visiting with my sister and helping Carly get ready for school, I have missed working in the garden and was happy to be working again..
