How I spent my weekend part 1

For the third year in a row, the roomie wanted a garden. Last year we got a few tomatoes off our plants, and some herbs. This year the roomie wanted to do an in ground garden again. 3 years ago we discovered that we couldn't do that in the back yard because the old dog, Zoe, would lay in it and kill everything. S, the young man who built our cabinet, said he could help us this weekend. Friday night we went to Home Depot and got the plants and seeds we wanted. That was nearly $200. The weekend before he came by and moved our stair step herb garden from where it had been, closer to the porch so we could tend and water it easier. S got to our house about 2 and started by digging out the sod where the garden was to go. He used a couple of my shovels, yes, I have shovels, and did about half the sod. When he needed a break, we went to a different Home Depot and got 11 bags of soil, most of the timbers we needed. We also got weed barrier. While we were there I also got the two new screen doors and door knobs that we will need for another project so that S could take that load back to our house and not need to make another trip. He finished digging out the sod and put the surviving sod in the back yard so maybe we'll actually have some grass grow. The garden stuff was nearly another $200 and the doors and knobs were over $200. I payed for the doors and stuff, the roomie got the garden stuff. http://www.mylot.com/post/2912205/how-i-spent-my-weekend-part-3
