Welcome back to another episode of DIY Money.
DIY Money. What's shaking, eh? How up? Same old. I got my garden in last weekend. Wow. And now it's raining every day, which... Is that a good thing? Yes, it is.
But do you get too much water? Is that a bad thing?
You know, I don't know. I was told water once a day. And when it rains every day, that's watering once a day. So it makes it easier on me. Fair enough. But from my understanding, and this, someone out there is going to be like, you're an idiot. And that's fair. I know nothing about gardening. I'm not going to pretend to, and it's probably going to be a disaster.
You idiot!
Hold on, but you say you know nothing about gardening, and you came in, and you're like, yeah, we did a 40-foot bed of gardening.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Why would you go zero to 1,000?
Because that's what I do, Logan. Jeez. It's a 28-foot bed, 28 feet long, 3 feet wide. I planted half of it with seeds, and the seeds, I think, my understanding, again, we'll find out if this is true or not. I think seeds, you really can't water enough. Yeah. They love to just have as much water as possible. You want to keep them like wet the whole time. Then once they root, then it's like once a day. But then I've also read sometimes it's better like three times a week with more water. I don't know what I'm doing, but I go out there with the hose and I just beam. I'm so excited. And I'll just stand on the corner and water my plants and the neighbors will walk by and I've met a lot of neighbors the last few days, and that has been really fun.
Can I come over this afternoon and touch your face? Sure. Thanks. Good luck, guys.
This is a pretty amazing transition that you're going through, Allie. You're going from what you do as a 20-something-year-old to what you do as a 70-year-old-something.
I'm somewhere in between there, yeah.
In addition to now having 90 square feet of garden... You are also having, you're in a bird watching club now, I believe.
Not yet. I'm waiting for signups.
I'm waiting for signups. Go outside and watch birds. Like you have to sign up.
You can bird watch for free, but this club is exclusive.
How do you have a club for bird watching? I'm so confused.
Do you wear a visor too? I'm not. We've talked about the visor, Logan. That's sensitive. I'm not in my visor area yet, but I fear I'm on my way. And by fear, I mean, I'm excited about the fact that I'm on my way. So my church over the summer in efforts to, I think, make intergenerational like relationships where you're not just with people your age, they have what they call affinity groups where Okay. And so there's different things. So they might have one for board games or bonfire or hiking or chess. Like they had a chess one this year. They, and I hope this is real and they didn't just make this up on the stage. They said they were having a birdwatching affinity group.
Yes.
That's where I want to be.
So you went from like, I like birds to I will join a bird watching.
Yeah. Oh, a hundred percent.
Fair enough.
And I won't know any of them. Like I know three to four birds at this point, but think about who else is going to be in that group. And need I say more?
Hello, I'm Rico, and I like to party. I don't understand.
Like, that group is going to be awesome. Some of the most fascinating, like, people-watchering kind of people. Like, you know there's going to be characters.
There's no one in that group under 70.
That's the point. That's awesome.
Fair enough.
That's your group. If you join, like, the chess thing, it's probably going to be, like, a lot of younger people. Okay. And then some old men. Like, for the most part.
Fair enough.
Bird watching is going to be me. In your visor. And then middle-aged women in their visors. Not me in my visor. And then older men. That's what I'm hoping for.
Fair enough.
I can't think of anything I'd rather do more than go birdwatching with some older people.
