Last weekend

A rather productive 2 days, in which we:

1) Sanded (coarsely and then finely) and treated our deck
2) Sodded 2 small areas of our yard (beautiful beautiful grass)
3) Tilled our garden area
4) Planted a LEMON TREE with a totally cool watering system*
5) Hung laundry lines
6) Transformed a $5 craigslist find into a hip new patio table
7) Went with our neighbors to watch fireworks over the bay
8) Had tequila shots :)

All while keeping a 9 month old fed, happy, and reasonably clean. Go Team Wagner!

*The watering system was recommended by the guy at the garden store and it is cool. We put in about 2' of 3" diameter perforated corrugated plastic tubing in the ground about 1' from the tree trunk ($0.80). We covered the top with a plastic drainage cover to keep things (like little legs) from getting caught in the tube ($1.34). Once a week we'll fill up the tube with water and once every couple months we'll drop in a fertilizer spike. That's it! All the deep watering a citrus tree needs, easy peasy!
