For my whole life I've loved being in the garden. When I was a small child I would spend countless hours in the dirt with my grandmother planting everything from cucumbers to corn. 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 histroy. 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 brocoli. It was simple to do. 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.
Weeding is my least favorite part of gardening. This year I didn't have as many problems because I chose to go out and cheap garden shovels. Having to move around on my knees all summer was not fun at all. Next year now that I think of it I might hire someone to come in every once in while and do it for me. Now all I have left to do is convince the hubby, he's cheap.
The right tools for the job make all the difference, and that's why I don't know why more people don't cheap gardening tools. If it were up to me there would be no room left in my garage because I'd have a tool for every little thing. 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 dirtt, go at it with the right tools!
