A good (and not-so-good) Friday

It was past time to plant the peas and the lettuce (way later than usual because Italy), plus Burpee had surprised me by sending a bunch of plants in early April rather than (as I expected) early- to mid-May, and the weekend is booked in various ways, so despite the fact that it was still kind of cold, we made a pilgrimage to Gloucester yesterday.

Except... I realized too late on Thursday that I had neglected to get the water turned on, and then jwg suddenly wasn't sure if we'd left the valve in the basement closed (we always do, so I don't why we thought we might not have)... Anyway, the upshot was that we decided to go up anyway and make sure the valve was closed (it was), and call the water department to find out if, by chance, they could actually get to us the same day. I kind of assumed they wouldn't, so I decided not to bring the seeds and plants.
