Beginner's Garden, part deux


"Look, lady, this was your bright idea!"
Two hours at Home Depot, many more hours in the yard, one rental truck, 60 40-lb bags of organic soil and topsoil and several hundred dollars later...we still have no garden. We have a nice hole in the yard and some plants in their pots, but we'll get there. Hopefully before it's too late to plant!
Little did I know that when I asked for "a little garden. It'll be fun!" that so much would have to go into it. I still stand by my initial claim, "It'll be fun!"
Check back for part trois!

I know, poor our husbands try to please wife, I had been there. Just more practice trial & error. Our viginia soil was so good & I made own my compost, it really helps green thumb. Tilting was pain in a good buttocks exercises. Y remembered we had beautiful oriental garden, coi ponds, vegi & herb garden. When we moved to Houston town house I thought I graduated from gardening but now we moved to a new house, I already spot on organic garden area. I wonder I have rent tilter or Walter will be my helper or hire Mexican worker. We will see. Poco poco. Have a fun nothing like home grown vegi.
