We finally finished work on our herb garden last weekend, getting thoroughly sunburned in the process. But on the plus side, we'll have tasty fresh herbies to put in our food soon. Yay!

Also, as gacked from

sorchar there's a new site opening this summer that's aiming at giving paypal a run for it's money called GreenZap. If you pre-register, they'll put $25 in your account when they open, which you can either spend online, or have it transfered into your bank account. For more info, go right here.

Here's the potted herbs. Sage, thyme, basil, garlic and regular chives, woodruff, cilantro, chammomile, lavender, rosemary, marjoram, parsley and dill. Oh, and chocolate mint, but that got segregated in a second pot due to the tendency for mint to take over.

Here's Jess taking the drill to the plastic baby pool that we used as a giant planter.

Here's the dirt filled baby pool, which required two trips to the nursery with three large rubbermaid containers to fill. Erg.

And here it is, all planted up, with a nice little fence around it to keep the wildlife away.

Post planting, Kyan and I take a break.

So, that was the weekend that was.

Yesterday, we went to our first chair dance class. Oh, Lord and Lady, my muscles are pissy today!
