Theo 20, Toni 1

While my little sidekick was "helping" me change the bed sheets yesterday,
I snuck out to the garden to plant
Yep!  Gardening the easy way.  Or the "easier" way.  Or at least the "less-likely-to-be-dug-up-by-the-cat" way.  We now have 9 broccoli & 9 kohlrabi plants
and 9 butter lettuce plants, with the 9 Romaine lettuce plants still to go.  I generally prefer plants in 6-packs rather than 9-packs, but this does increase my odds with Theo.  And look!
I think I actually have spinach coming up!  Either that or I'm getting very excited about some weeds here. 
Speaking of which, I decided it was time to weed & feed the garden, so I dumped the bag of weed & feed into the spreader
 just in time to discover the spreader is either broken or really, really REALLY thorough:
So either I have a patch of grass that will be REALLY free of weeds, or I just killed the grass.  I think the odds are sightly higher for the latter. 

And over in the corner next to the fence, I found
two onions.  This would, of course, be nowhere NEAR where the onions were planted last year--and actually quite a bit bigger than ANY of the onions that I planted in the actual garden bed ever got.  So I guess my worrying that I might have planted onions a bit too early is ill-founded.  They seem to have started without me.
