I have been a little worried

I had asked how much the Zaran (correct spelling) cost and I had understood 1500 colones a meter and 8 meters long and 4 meters wide. I figured it out and I knew it was going to cost me about $100.00 but I figured oh well, I have committed and I need it if I am going to have a vegetable garden. When it came it was more like 8 feet wide so I knew the price would go up. I figured I would also ask about paying Oscar as it took him all day. Gerardo came this morning and I brought out my money and mentioned the Zaran and Oscar. He let me know that Oscar is on his payroll and called his store to check on what I got. It must have been 150 colones a meter, not 1500, and with the family discount it cost me 10,000 colones or about $20.00. Such a deal to help my babies grow big and strong. I paid the 10,000 and gave him a plate of cinnamon bread. It was fun to watch him checking out my new babies and figuring out what they are and picking out rocks and piling dirt around them. I think he must  be a farmer at heart. He may be right about most of the stuff just being weeds. I may have to replant a lot of it but at least I don't have to worry about the season as things grow year round.
It started out cool and cloudy but it is only 10:30 and the sun is shining and it is warm enough I need to change my top. I think it might be a good morning to do some pruning.



All tied up so it gets a little sun.


I do have a few flowers.
