Square Foot Gardening Update!
I harvested the onions and garlic yesterday - this is what I got from my raised bed in the hellstrip by the street. A 2x5 patch yielded 27 heads of hardneck 'Killarney Red' garlic and 20 'Yellow Rock' onions that I planted last October, along with 20 little 'Candy Apple' red onions that I planted in April for use as scallions. I'll replant those little red onions and two dozen of the largest garlic cloves in the Fall. Onions and garlic are dead simple to grow and make a good beginner crop.
Here's how the raised bed looked on May 3rd. The onions are in the left midground, the garlic in the right midground, the leeks and potatoes are visible in the background. I reserved the empty foreground patch for a pole bean planting I planned for late May. A few scallions spilled over into the bean patch because I intended to take them early, before the beans took over.
Here's how the pole beans looked as of this morning. I built a trellis between two beds to increase the bean growing area and make them orders of magnitude easier to pick. The bamboo I got from a patch growing in my Japanese-style back garden. The bare patch on the extreme lower left of the photo is where the onions and garlic were.
Here's my husband showing one day's bean and tomato harvest. This is what it's yielding every 3-5 days.
And just for giggles, here's my flower bed that's in the hellstrip behind the beans, sweet peppers and tomatoes. The gladiolus and cosmos are just starting to bloom; the bachelor buttons and nasturtiums have been blooming for quite a while now. (In the spring it's a riot of crocuses, daffodils, irises and hyacinths.)
If there's enough interest I can post how to build the watering grids. Building them yourself is far cheaper than buying pre-assembled ones online.

Okay so Cuda season ticket holder end of year thing was an EDM-Sharks watch party at a gastro pub, which is legitimately a nightmare for both me and the Cuda. Like psychologically taxing for me in a gastropub alone as a person with anxiety and a vow of sobriety, BUT ALSO. BECAUSE. SOME OF THESE MEN? NOT LYING ABOUT THEIR HEIGHTS. Kyle Rau - shortass who is not 5'8. Valtteri Pulli and Eetu Mäkiniemi? 8 million feet tall. Maybe taller. In fact, probably 10 million feet tall. Walking past them was the most stressful thing the Cuda org has ever made me experience except for the 15 game losing streak two seasons ago. Why are you both so fucking tall. I could not look at them when I was walking past them in part bc if I make direct eye contact that is knowledge I can never forget but in part bc I simply cannot see that far up. I don't like that. That's too tall. Why are you as a man 6'6. Valtteri Pulli was like hatched out of a dinosaur egg and he simply never stopped growing.
And some buddy counts:
Valtsu and Eetu: each other's emotional support animals. Unable to leave each other
Shakir and Nikolai: fuck you if you think they are leaving their Russian coven table, which for some reason also included Tanner Kaspick
Mitchell Russell and Gannon Laroque, two men who definitely exist in real life: glued to each other's sides
Everybody and Cole Cassels' newborn: that child has 22 uncles + Jmac who are going to show her how to live right
In conclusion if the org ever makes me do that again, I'm suing. Like oh yeah, you say you've experienced Sharks hockey? Have you experienced Sharks hockey in a bar with their ENTIRE MINOR LEAGUE TEAM?? AHHHHHHHHH
