I had to post this :-)

This is my favorite family picture- we all look completely retarded, except for Nana, who looks a little worried as her children and grandchildren flounder about :-)

end of the final day...

Below is video of what I accomplished by the end of the 1st day. I hit a snag when 2:00 came around and the sun began to beat down on me unrelentingly and forced me inside until 5:30 and then the mosquitoes came out in FULL FORCE around 6:00... ah, the adventures in gardening :-) And I developed the first blister on my hand since I took gymnastics as a little girl.

2 hours later...

2 hours later, I have cleared about a 4x1 foot strip...I am finding that the grass roots are very strong and VERY prolific. One 4x1 strip down, a gazillion more to go :-) The good news is that I am finding many earthworms which makes me very excited! :-)

Enjoy!

The beginning

Hello Everyone,

I started this blog to document the progress of my garden and I am really excited to begin this wonderful project. I have started off small- an 8x12 greenhouse with a 5x6 outdoor garden area attached and as I continue to cultivate my plants I will expand to incorporate more garden area. I hope you enjoy watching the progression as much as I do :-)
