yesterday my step-daughter asked if she could have her own garden bed, so I said yes and we made a little plot. she told me that she wanted a "neat" garden, a not-so-subtle dig at my more chaotic style of throwing seeds everywhere. so we planted nasturtium, larkspur (new to me), zinnia, bachelor's buttons, and spinach, each in their own "neat" section. then I planted peas all around the border to trellis up the small branch-and-twine fence we're going to build.
