New addition...

Tomatoes plants (3) have been added to my vegetable garden today.

Okay. I just wrote the first sentence and right away I feel like a douche-bag. Why the hell have I been blogging so much about my garden the past few days? Jesus! I need a better hobby.

In other news, I am going out to celebrate a friend's birthday tonight. And in a crazy turn of events, I found out in the last hour of work that I have a high school visit tomorrow in San Antonio. F! Why do I keep giving up my weekends?!?!!?!?!?!?!!

Twitter

Ha. I gave in and got twitter.

Or as I call it, the ultimate stalker application.

Essentially, one tweets (posts) to provide a brief update of what's going on, or what is on one's mind. One might associate that with a blog. However, my blog postings tend to be a little more elaborate. But alas, I can think of very little to blog about this very second.

I have been spending more time in my backyard puttsing around. The main focus is on my vegetable garden. My sparse, very basic, two vegetable-vegetable garden. You've seen what I've harvested. I should take a picture of it, so you know I'm not bull-shitting you.

This afternoon/evening consisted of me clearing weeds from around the garden. Once I made enough progress and was bit by an ant, I decided to take out some aggression... on unsuspecting ant colonies. I was so successful. What's funny is that one could see my progress. There is a trail of holes in the ground. In my wake I left plots of unearthed clay, dirt, weeds, and pissed-off ants. I looked into my backyard from the patio and thought. One conclusion was that I was lucky I didn't own this house, and more so, lucky I didn't have a wife living in this house with me. I could picture her coming out on the patio to see my progress, look out at the destruction, and proceed to rip me a new one.

Hurray for being single!

(I'll post pictures once I take some daytime photos.)

Home Made

After my half hour bike ride through my and the neighboring neighborhoods, I came home and immediately felt the need to eat. I guess it was that good of a work out. I decided that the time had come. I went out into my backyard, turned on the hose, then watered and harvested my vegetable garden. And from my garden I created this delicious salad.


... ummm ...

Okay, minus the carrots. Those came from my fridge. I wasn't sure how long they'd been there but I did the carrot snap test. Sure enough they were good to eat.

... ummm ...

Well, the avocado did come from my garden either. Those beautiful, sexy, delicious avocados. That was actually bought by my roommate and had been sitting on the counter for almost too long. Who has an avocado tree in their backyard any way (besides my Mom in Mexico, or my Aunt and Uncle in Santa Cruz, CA, and the future Me).

So, essentially, the only thing from my vegetable garden that was in my salad was the lettuce. But c'mon! What's the main ingredient in salad anyway?
