For my whole life I’ve loved being in the garden. When I was young it would be imposable to get me out of the garden, where I spent most of my days with my grandmother. All summer I would spend the days of summer at my grandparent’s farm. My grandfather game me a proposal, work in the garden or study American history. Of course it was an easy choice since I loved gardening and hated school.
So that leads me to where I am today, still spending all summer in the garden, just now it is my backyard instead of the farm. This year I though I would plant a mix of vegetables. I began with tomatoes, then moved onto beans and broccoli. That was the easy part. The plants needed water almost every day because the sun was shining and it was always hot and dry. I needed to get my man to chop down an intruding tree that was depriving my garden of the sun. Really it was a lot of work for a small amount of veggies.
Getting rid of weeds it the most boring part of gardening. This year I didn’t have as many problems because I chose to go out and buy garden shovels. Being down on my knees all summer is just unpleasant. In the coming years I think I might get someone to come to my house and weed my garden once a week. Now all I have left to do is convince the hubby, he’s cheap.
Gardening tools make a big difference so I don’t know why people aren’t keener to buy gardening tools. If I had it my way the house would be filled with every little tool that anyone has ever thought up. Gardening is geat, but having the proper tools for the job makes it way more fun. If next summer you are thinking to take a roll in the dirty, go at it with the right tools!
