We’ve begun our garden — sort of. We ordered seeds some weeks ago, and they finally arrived earlier this week. The first step was to get them started.
We’re both excited about hte prospect of growing our own beans, potatoes, zucchini, tomatoes, and other veggies, but we sometimes wonder if we’re biting off more than we can…
Scratch that.
Planting more than we can hoe.
I recall all the work Nana and Papa put into our garden when I was growing up, and I think, “When are we ever going to find the time.” Of course, being a teacher, I have summers off. Yet being a teacher, I also have to spend at least some of my summer expanding my horizons, so to speak — a useful euphamism for “sitting in teacher in-service sessions.”
Still, a longer day means more time to dig, which hopefully will mean more to harvest.
