(Have I mentioned that I'm writing this on about two hours of sleep so it may seem a little odd.)
After much coercing, my fiancee made me two super-sweet raised beds. However, since he has about three hours a week of free time, I took it upon myself to make two more and...I USED PROFESSIONAL POWER TOOLS!!!!
I had to Google "How to unlock a Dewalt Miter Saw" and found the following forum reply: "If you can't unlock a miter saw, you probably shouldn't be using it". Luckily for my garden, I don't give a crap. I figured out how to unlock the dang thing and went to choppin, my phone next to me prompted to dial 911 incase a chopped a few digits.

HOly crap, I've been so busy making prints for a recent show and preparing for another that I've neglected my grow blog. The rad thing is that, even though i've been a lazy planting turkey, my veg keeps growing...Ive eaten so much freakin red leaf lettuce that i kinda wanna puke. We have taters to spare, onions gallore, lettuce (wayyyyy too much lettuce), arugula that's outta control, teeny corn sproutlets, lots o' kale, tons of herbs, a soybean sprout, one teeensy anaheim pepper (my favorite new addition, re-emerging yellow pepper plants, and two huge tomato plants (that, so far, have sprouted two itty bitty green tomatos.

Howdy,and welcome to We Grow Grub. We're archiving our journey towards living a more sustainable and cost effective lifestyle in the face of recession and a threatened environment. We're taking our 1950s, working-class, urban/suburban cottage, complete with concrete paths (boooo) and bermude grass(yuck), and overhauling to fit our needs more sufficiently; and all by the hands to two people and, mostly, found materials. In turn, we trade our harvests with friends and neighbors for delicious meals. Bartering at its best!
