Hello world!!
Isn't it just beautiful everywhere? Even though my grass is too tall and needs to be mowed, I know the clover is blooming and the bees will be buzzing soon. To most of you that doesn't mean much, to me that means my squash, tomatoes, etc. will be pollinated and hopefully I will have fresh veggies to eat in the summer. So I'm not only saving fuel by not cutting my grass every 7 days, I'm attracting bees to my little patch of growing veggies. Did I mention that everything is attracted to my newly turned garden?
Let me go back to the beginning. The dirt has never been broken where I live in the 19 years I've lived here. Since it's the backside of a mountain; the dirt is not only the hard red clay Alabama is known for, it is also filled with those pesky rocks.
Well the day I began running my Troy-Bilt "HORSE", it really ran me....it was dragging me around the yard for hours and it felt good.
I was breaking ground for my own garden, my own private place to pick my fresh peppers, eggplants,squash, and tomatoes, so being dragged around my yard for hours was a small price to pay.
Well after four hours, and equity sweat I noticed that my dog was enjoying this as much as I was, he had a brand new place to play!
Now our Snappy is 14 years old, but he still loves to lay on his back and play in the dirt, and this dirt was new, this dirt was cool and soft, he was having the time of his life. I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
OK, I've gotten a bit of track, but ADD does that, I'll try to explain the planting process later, Snappy enjoyed that process as well, he's such a good boy.
