I called the bookstore yesterday to find that vandalism nor thievery occurred. Their window was smashed out by an eighteen wheeler that drove by. Apparently it was either carrying tires (one falling off the back) or just lost one without knowing it! Or, it seems they didn't know because they did not stop. Yikes.
The worker there told me that the damage was pretty bad and it was lucky that no one was in the area where the wheel came flying in because they would not have survived. Luckily, I did find out that their insurance will cover damages.
More planting was done this week. Yesterday I discovered the Old Farmers Almanac website thanks to a co-worker. I used to read them all the time going to feed stores with my dad. I thought they were the coolest thing ever. Needless to say, I still feel that way! I signed up for the newsletter and started printed all kinds of stuff from their site.
Also, I took some tips yesterday, went and bought seed potatoes and put them in a pot instead of in the ground. It might be a little late to grow them, but I am looking forward to see if they come out. This seems a lot easier than trying to dig them out of the ground when they are ready. They called them trash can potatoes. I did carrots, radishes, and artichokes the same way! I hope I get better results this year than I did last year. We will see!
