All the plans and dreams of a bigger better garden from last year came crashing down last week. My over worked, underpaid carpal tunnel ridden hands gave up the ghost. KAPUT!
The good news is I have all the time in the world. The bad news I only have use of my left hand and even then its strength is lacking greatly.
Yesterday the tomatoes went in. 24 plants. Last year we had 18 plants. Last years garden was half destroyed by the pigs. This year we have the pigs better controlled. I am also hoping by the fall to have the garden mostly fenced. The problem with plans; goals, dreams, is it takes money.
I have about 100$ worth of seeds that need to go in the ground. The ground is only partially ready. I was in the middle of digging, tilling, mixing in compost. The littles have been helping but there reluctance and arguments get old.
I am determined to have a garden at least as good as last years. I may get it in more slowly but I hope the final result will not be less because of it.
