My household has had a stomach flu all week since I did the one garden bed. So I've been caring for sick men and feeling sick myself all week.
I guess the old thing about guys feeling sick more dramatically than women is at least true here... D has been puking 3-5 times a day, even G had no appetite, but I'm eating normal lighter meals and having no trouble keeping things down. The boys are completely laid out and miserable - I'm just sick achy and lightly feverish. It's been less than two days and I'm already feeling better enough to think about getting my late planting of basil in, the boys have been bedridden for 3 so far.
In any case, I picked up some new seedling pots from Home Depot today and a grape vine too. Just as a reminder, since it's popped up as a meme in a few places online recently to remind me, Home Depot regularly sources live plants treated with neonicotinoid pesticides which are bee killers. This isn't such a big deal for the grape vine I bought since it's a baby vine, but their flowers are often treated with it too. Nothing like inviting pollinators into your garden only to kill them when they have their snack. So be careful which plants you are purchasing from which stores and look at tags, often the plants that are treated with these are labeled.
Fingers crossed I feel up for doing my basil today. I have been bored and unproductive for a few days now.
