Where there's never a lack of broccoli.

A pretty slow day today.

A pretty slow day today. I bought some seeds to start a vegetable garden, as you may have seen on sabrina's blog. It'll take quite a bit of work to get it going, since we'll either have to clear a big chunk of land, or make a raised garden. 'm currently planning an 8ft x 4ft plot. I'm going to put in cucumbers (potted, not in the ground), radishes, a mesclun mix, and bibb lettuce. It'll be interesting to see how it goes, I've never tried to raise produce before. We also seem to have a bunny living in the backyard, so it'll probably eat all my lettuce.

Clearing the land is going to be the hard part. If it is too difficult, or the dirt isn't rich enough, I'll have to do the raised garden. Either way we'll have to buy a bunch of soil, and filling that big a space is going to take alot of soil. I don't know if we could even put that much in the car in one trip. I think it could be fun though, in a way. If everything grows well it'll be nice having fresh salad makings for the summer. It'll be a month or two before anything starts to be edible, but then the rest of the summer we can have stuff, if I plant it right.

I also found a pretty good site last night for learning various bits of web programming, such as html, xml, vbscript, javascript, asp, etc. It's hard to find sites that offer lessons for free, that aren't really poorly done. It's even harder to find one that has so many areas covered. I read through several of them, and will keep it in mind for later reference. I'd like to learn to do more with style sheets, and xml, but don't really have any usefull application in mind for it. Until I do, it's hard to just read through and get much out of it. I like to have a project to work on while I learn, rather than just examples and lessons. It's a worthwhile site to look at for anyone interested in learning any kind of online programming.
