Garden

Our booful garden.

Today my housemates and I finally broke ground on a garden in our backyard. We don't really have a front yard, so maybe it's our front yard, too. I don't know. Anyway, there is now about a six by three foot section of fertile soil that's maybe six inches deep. And we worked hard to get it! The only way we could dig the dirt was to use a pickaxe. (Okay, so maybe a really sharp shovel would have worked, but really, I'm convinced the pickaxe was the most effective method.) After breaking up enough of the cement-like soil, we added in some soil and manure and voila! We have soil ready for planting. We put in five flowers (not sure what kind) and I'll get some seeds from the food bank next week.
