Midnight Planting Part 1

So the weekend of May 6th was the  open  fishing  weekend  here in  Ohio ( meaning  that  anyone  could  fish regardless of  whether they have a liscense or  not). So Ken's  parents  came  down to visit  us  and  the 6 of us went  fishing. A  great time was  had by all and by part  way through the  afternoon everyone was catching   fish! Since most of them  were  on the smaller  side Ken and I decided that we  could use the smaller  fish to  plant  our  corn  with... We had always  heard about using  fish to  give corn  and beans the   nutrients needed to  grow. So we fished and fished and  fished some more. After awhile  we headed home to  get  dinner and  settle in for the night.  At about 845 or so I was  sitting around browsing on my computer and Ken  comes in  and says "Honey, I need a hand" So I got  up and went to   go give him a hand. It  turns out that  fish won't keep  overnight. So while  others were  Ohhhing  and Ahhing  over the super moon Ken and I   were planting corn,beans  and  zucchini. Which  wouldn't have been so bad really  except... that it was  hard to see.  And  so before I knew it I had planted  an  ENTIRE package of  zucchini seeds. So we'll see what comes out... I may end up eating nothing but  zucchini for a while :)
