The Gardening Adventure

In the spirit of the current economy and general resourcefulness, my house has decided to plant a garden. Unfortunately the areas around my house are really shady and not so great for vegetable gardening. We were lucky enough to have a neighbor offer us his back lot. We were quite excited about this because it was a big space that gets lots of good sunlight.

Once we started prepping the area we discovered that part of the lot was pit covered with a big debris pile. This is when the sifting really began. It felt like we were part of an archeological dig chronicling the last five years worth of yard work. This is the amount of sticks and old yard debris that we pulled out of the pit.

Finally we got most of the debris out of the pit and began to till. The most amazing part of the tilling process was when two yellow rain boots shot out of the soil when the tiller got near them. Who knows how long they were buried in there but they had a glorious entrance into the sun again. Boop.....Boop.....out they popped like we were in a cartoon.





Now we are ready to start planting. We have tomatoes, squash, chard, beets, onions and all kinds of other fun stuff. I will be excited to give you updates on how the garden grows. Lets cross our fingers that it grows well. I want some delicious veggies this summer.
