So the dumb-asses folks at Gardener’s Supply couldn’t come through with the goods and plans for the new raised bed have been changed. Back in the depths of winter we decided to build raised bed #3. Since the Big Pine was taken down last year the very back of the yard gets a lot more light. We figured we’d get another bed in back there to take the usual overabundance of seedlings that we usually don’t have room for.
I called up to Burlington, VT, the home of GS to inquire about the status of the Raised Bed Corners I had ordered back on 4/29. Originally back-ordered to 5/11, the date on the site had changed to 5/28. Sure enough, when I called they confirmed the later date and went on with something like “oh, yeah, those are made here in Vermont and we can’t get them out any faster”. To which I wanted to say “Well call over to Mason/Jay-Sun/LotDog at the metal press and tell him to put down the bong and put in some overtime, ‘cuz Phish tour hasn’t started yet”.
I wanted to say that. But instead I just said “I’ve got tomatoes to plant, that won’t work. Please cancel my order”
So I’ll be tilling a hole in the ground and just planting in the dirt we’ve got. Just like they did it in the old days.
