We are going to grow a garden this year. Not just a few tomatoes and a pepper plant, oh no we are putting a 15 foot by 50 foot full garden. I have hunted out the choice seeds from Baker Seed (website is www.rareseeds.com in case you would want to know).
I have sent a month or better learning what I can and the rest I will learn on the fly. Today we started preparation of the ground we staked out and started digging and turning the soil. I know they have these new things called tillers but that is not what I want. How is using a tiller helping anything out hard work is good for the soul.
The kids are quite excited and I hope they stay that way because they will be helping out. The husband is the only one that I am not requiring to help out, I figure he is our breadwinner that's enough. My oldest even wants her own garden area so she will be growing strawberries and making jam. My mouth is already watering.
Not a bad start for day one. Hopefully we can make as much or more progress tomorrow.
