Garden Talk

There’s not a whole lot to be said about this particular Tuesday.

I did stop by a Home Depot in Manhattan, looking and failing to find a garden soaker hose, not even one of the too-long lengths listed on their website. A Home Depot in midtown Manhattan is an odd place, I have to say, not least of all because the bulk of the store is hidden down below and a block deep. I suppose people who live and work in Manhattan must occasionally need lumber and gardening supplies, too, but it was a slightly weird experience. I was only there in the hope that I wouldn’t have to go buy one in the evening. (Lowes has the length I want listed on their site, but they don’t have any stores in the city.)

I don’t need to buy the hose, but the one we have appears to have a hole in it. I’d like to replace it (and use the replacement) before my parents come home on Thursday. Unless it rains tomorrow, I’d like to water the tree in the front yard.

This is what passes for excitement this week
