Breaking Ground


The weather is supposed to break tomorrow and we will finally have some sunshine.
My friend has informed me 'Himself' (her name for her husband) has the rototiller working.
We are going to have to play a round of musical chairs and garden furniture first, but hopefully the ground will get broken tomorrow.
At this point it looks like I will have two beds the first will be a small 16'x16' kitchen garden directly off the back porch. The second will be a bit bigger behind the garage.
My paternal Grandfather who used to own the house had a garden in this space for many years and the soil is quite rich there with good drainage.
We could always go a little nuts like the guy further down on Market Street with the grow lights in every window, and plant the entire front yard in veggies. It's not like I have any real grass in that section of yard. I think the chickweed has managed to eat everything that resembled grass except for the evil crab grass. Some years when it is really dry the chickweed and crabgrass are the only things that give my yard the color green.
I'll be sure to take pictures of the happy gardeners and post our progress.
