How Does Your Garden Grow?

When we first saw the garden during the walkthrough on this house - we fell in love!  10 feet wide, 88 feet long, 3 feet deep!  Filled with and organic compost/soil mixture.  PERFECT!  Oh yeah, and also full of weeds.



At first I thought "maybe geraniums?" Nope. Weeds.



Seriously.  So. Full.

Well, at least SOMETHING will grow here!

It took me a solid week of soaking the ground (yep, I had to water the weeds to get them to come out!) and pulling each weed by hand (and/or shovel) to get this thing cleared out.

THEN I got to till it by hand.  Boy.  That was a blast and half!

I was in a big hurry, because our weather was turning warm quickly, and I wanted to hurry up and get our seeds planted.

So, after two long weeks of weeding, pulling, shoveling, digging, and tilling, I got it done :)





After a few weeks - here we are!  Measurable growth!!

Here are some peas:



And now some corn
