kwoo's Journal: Finally -- seeds! Gardening. XML.

The order from the American seed company arrived yesterday, via FedEx. A large sigh of relief was heard as we confirmed that the order was filled correctly.

We bought chamomile and a few more packs of seeds today. This weekend marks approximately four weeks before last frost in our zone, so there is much seed starting to do.

Much yardwork was done. Ellen was a real trooper, as usual -- I whacked the lawn with the weedeater, and she did the truly disgusting work of dealing with the refuse strewn over the yard by the upstairs neighbours' kids. My hat is off to her, as it would have driven me insane.

With luck, we'll be able to start ripping the turf off the garden plots tomorrow. It's supposed to rain, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Still formulating a plan to teach Ellen XML. I think I will teach her XHTML as a start -- at least that will push back the time required to figure out some sort of tag-substitution tool.
