Once again, the Little Gardener has proved he can make a Huge impact. Above he stands in front of some directly seeded Zuchinni plants. They have been growing like mad since day one, and are just starting to set squash. The leaves are nearly taller then him,and I’m pretty sure he would have crawled throught them like a jungle gym if I would have let him.
When I was little, I remember being eager to work in the garden, and If memory serves me right, I asked my dad if I could extend the garden. I remember working in the soil, turning it over, and telling someone that It just felt like what I would enjoy doing someday. Sounds about right, and I’m back to contemplating expanding the garden again. I swear this green thumb stuff is addicting.
Above my buddy helped carry away the weeds as I pulled them up. He’s a very hard worker for his age, and I thought I would show him how much his help means by posting all about him.
“The Big Green Monster with Dirt all Over it”. That’s the new nickname for a pile of weeds. When we were done with a large section, the pile was nearly the height of the helper shown. I plan to add these to a compost pile, and hopefull get black dirt out of them.
