Ahhh, Dirt.

I'm not sure when it was that dirt became exciting.


Don't get me wrong, I don't like ALL dirt, just the freshly tilled, rock free, ready to plant dirt that now fills my garden.

It took quite a while to get it to this point. After the spring garden died, I left everything to rot. I filled an entire green barrel with the decayed carcasses of the spring plants.

Then I had to pick out all the voluntary grass that decided to fill the garden spot, water the ground so it would be soft enough to work, and borrowed a tiller to use.

So, one full Saturday later, the garden is ready for planting. Now I just need to wait for the temperatures to fall below 110 degrees and I'm all set.

Now, what to plant in the garden...in the lovely dirt! I love dirt!
