I won! I got a plot! I finally got a plot!

I have been applying for a garden plot for almost 6 years straight via the local City, sending in the application at 12:01am on New Year’s Day. Finally, out of frustration, this year I submitted to the Marymoor Community Garden.

Got an email around February giving me the heads up that there are no plots available. Understandable, since there’s a really high demand for these in this area. Thanked the guy nicely, and wondered about vandalizing someone’s property near me with plants.

Behold! Multiple people must of sensed my evil intent to plant lettuce and radishes illegally, and decided to ignore their emails!

At the beginning of this month, April, I got this random invoice for a garden plot. I was at work, taking a break, and decided… to think about it.

I lasted exactly 7 minutes into work, before I paid my invoice.

I’ve got a 10’ by 40’ plot!!!!

So, I know I’m behind. The tough part is, I really wanted fencing and raised beds in with drip irrigation put together. After weeding yesterday, I’ve came to my limited common sense. The realization hit me: that by planting straight into the ground, I can play around with my layout before committing.

Also, the emergency vet bill, coupled by taxes, and visiting family for a week unpaid, just totally cleaned out my funny money.

Directly seeding, here I come!

(Okay, let’s be honest, that’s really next weekend)

… I got a plot!!!
