Digging in the DIRT is Gardening

AIE2SLHCAASBT2ACA04N3P2CAG2ZO94CATXWQDKCAIBE209CAYHCBVTCAXCH5XCCAJJ1WJXCA1DOEASCAY74YGJCA3IBSVJCA2C28JFCALP1170CADDU3KGCA8JT10ECAKCC03DCARR84F5CAKLSGZ2CAK57TX8There is something to be said about digging in the dirt. When I was young I didn’t like to get dirt under my finger nails. I think it was a kid thing, and the thought of working in the garden was just not a pleasant thought. I knew that snakes would be there lying in wait to scare me in that garden.

When I got married and moved to our new home my husband who is a city boy wanted to have a garden. He wanted to grow “beef steak tomatoes.” His idea of a tomato is the bigger the better.
 
Well his plants were TALL, I mean HUGE they were beautiful. Then her broke his ankle and was not able to get out there and take care of his tomato plants. Within a very short amount of time the weeds had taken over an they were as TALL as the tomato plants.

 
I do have flower beds around the house and lots of flowers growing in pots. We also have a very long handicap ramp along the back of our house for my mother-in-law. I have it lit with solar lamps but this year I planted flowers in my husbands old shoes and hung them all along the ramp. Looks charming in my opinion, but I have been told I have a very odd sense of style.

I put together a series of articles about gardening I hope you enjoy it.

I certainly was not about to go out and “tend the garden.” I knew for a fact, lying in wait inside those rows of HUGE tomato plants were snakes… lots of them.

The next year a nice young couple bought the farm across the street and every since then we have had farm fresh produce. Now that is my way of gardening. I don’t have to get my fingernails dirty and especially dont’ have to worry about SNAKES!! lying in wait to scare me.
