Summer Garden

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a terrible time with gardening. I kill at least half of what I grow every time.  That doesn't mean that I won't keep trying, though.

I was considering doing vegetables in pots (like I did last year) but once I added up all the cost of pots and stuff, I gave in to the harder option. This little patch used to be grass, so I dug up the grass, watered the dirt so that it was soft enough to churn up a little, and spent a few hours tilling up the dirt in my little plot.  My back ached, but it was worth it in the long run, I hope.  We're trying to grow peas (which I later learned grow best in early spring or fall, not summer), bell peppers, tomatoes, a squash and a zucchini.  If my peas don't come up, I may change them out for green beans.  We'll see what happens.

Anyways, my new goal is to try to have this little garden going year-round.  Growing different things that are in season at different times.  I also have room to expand if I need to.  Wish me luck, I'll need it.
