Uninteresting Gardening Story

All 5 of us were in the garden planting tomatoes (including Thrice who was along for the ride). I turned a strip of the garden for planting. Arial pulled the weeds and got attacked by a colony of red ants. The ant colony then had vengeance rained upon it (in the form of a shovel).

I'll gloss over the tramatic part here where, when planting Johanns sunflowers that he grew from seeds, I accidentally destroyed them and made him very sad.

The kids helped plant the tomatoes by spraying water (with the gun-like hose attachment) and pushing dirt around the plants to fill in the hole. After filling in a hole with water, Johann dropped the hose to the ground. It landed in such a way that the lever was slightly depressed, creating a sprinkler right next to all of us.

Johann got the worst of it but we all got wet (except Thrice who is perpetually swimming). I kicked the hose over and it turned off. We went back to work.

After finishing, we ate at Taco John's.
