Farm Girl

The picture above is from two weeks ago when a group of us were tilling. Look at those boots! So freaken muddy. And yes, those blue gloves are nitrile lab gloves that I had to use as garden/work gloves to weed out the weed... That is what you call resourceful!
Tilling = hard work... Although I never took part in the running the tiller, all that weeding, raking and shoveling hurt my back so much. Thankfully, that was the only day of that week where it did not rain. Doing all that in the rain would have not been fun at all.

This is a crappy picture, I admit. I forgot to take it when I was actually near it (probably since I couldn't wait to get out of there). That is the picture of one of the 6 plots (7 by 8m). Those silver looking things would be the deer fences so that no deer eats any of my babies (babies as in brassica). Basically there are 6 bamboo sticks with twine all around them and then pie plates hanging off of the twine so that they can make banging noises to scare off the deer. Lastly, that blueish looking thing next to our plot would be the watering cans. Since its so muddy out there, no vehicles could get through to drop off the large troughs filled with water. So now I have to manually bring those watering cans every time I want to water... Water in large amounts = my back breaking.


To all you people who went to Highpark to see the cherry blossoms, well get ready to eat your heart out. cause I have this right next to my plot!:

That's right! It's cherry blossoms! One day they just appeared...so pretty though. No need to go to Highpark when I have this in my backyard :P

So last week we planted the seeds finally. I had sunburns, bug bites and mud everywhere. A week later, sunburn has turned into a tan, mud has been washed off BUT freaking bug bites are still torturing me! They are so so so so so so soooooo ITCHY. I want to swim in a pool medicated anti-itch cream. They are all over my body! And they are sooo big, red and bulging out (ew). They honestly take turns itching...in the morning it starts from my arms, then to my stomach then to my legs and then at night back to my arms. Someone save me please!
I am slowly turning into a hippy, farm girl. I have the farmer's tan, bug bites, and always filled with mud...
Someone needs to build me a pool that has mixture of sunscreen and bugsspray so every morning I can take a bath in it and then walk out of my house. If anyone is willing to build this please contact me through e-mail ASAP!
<3 Peace out
