Our first veggie garden!

This blog chronicles our progress, blackslides, successes and failures as it relates to the veggie patch. We'll report how things progress from ground to table.

We broke ground for our 2008 Fall/Winter vegetable garden today. I laid out where the beds will be in the backyard using string to denote the two beds.

Then, I spread AP flour where the string was....

...so we could pull up the string and begin digging. Tom dug up the perimeter of the beds, in case it rains and washes away the flour.

We ordered a Mantis garden tiller which should be here in the next day or so. Then we will till the ground!

Way to Go! I love to witness "follow through." You two are great examples!

Dude, the hat. The hat has to go. But I still 'preciate cha bro'.

Ahhh, man, not my hat. Especially in THIS kind of sun. BUT, maybe it's not the right kind of hat. MAYBE, just maybe I need to get a WG-inspired pith helmet.

Looks like a Vietnamese garden right now. You know, grass.
