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&#8217;m back to contemplating expanding the garden again. I swear this green thumb stuff is addicting.<\/p>\n<p>Above my buddy helped carry away the weeds as I pulled them up. He&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_771\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/import\/theweedpile.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-771\" class=\"size-full wp-image-771\" title=\"&quot;The Big Green Monster with Dirt all Over it&quot;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.itfarmersblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/import\/theweedpile.png\" alt=\"&quot;The Big Green Monster with Dirt all Over it&quot;\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-771\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&quot;The Big Green Monster with Dirt all Over it&quot;<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;The Big Green Monster with Dirt all Over it&#8221;.
