How much easier would it be to break sod with oxen?
I want to ride a horse down trails.
Why did I do some of the stupid things I did as a teenager?
It was so cool on the north rim of the Grand Canyon.
How I envisioned living on a farm with rescued dogs when I was a girl.
How long would it take to coax earthworms to the surface using only the no- till (or lasagna) method?
I bet my daughter planned to be gone this weekend on purpose?
Do my arms look disproportionate, like The Hulk's, yet.
My son kept me company for a while, discussing theories about construction of the pyramids while he and the little dog lay on the ground, watching. This led to thoughts about UFO's and, inexplicably, OMD song lyrics running through my head. Delirium had set in.
By Sunday night at nine, the plants were in and the sprinkler connected. It is not the powdery perfect soil of my herb garden, but it's a good start for a first year vegetable garden, and my herb garden was this way in the beginning too. I plan to go "no-till" from this point forward, begging for bagged leaves off of people's lawns if I have to.
Anyway, tomatoes grow well in all kinds of soil, and that is the purpose of this labor: homegrown tomatoes. I've also got some peppers, carrots, beans, and cucumbers in there too.
Good for you! I began my gardening adventure 8 years ago when my husband made our first raised beds ~ I think it was our best year for tomatoes! Now, I adore gardening and keep asking for more beds. Have fun with it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rachel. Every year our garden seems to get a little better. Or maybe I just get more organized with it. I'm looking forward to having a little something more to show for the work this year. We'll see...
