My Garden.

I look at this project as a trial run for sure.  And as I sit hear typing up this post, my neighbor next door is planting his very legit garden that is making my attempt at a garden look even more measly than I origninally thought.  Well, I'm sure Martha Stewart didn't get a lush, full garden her first year either!! 

After clearing out the tree, I loaded up the garbage can with all of it's remenants.  Turns out I must have broken the rules, because although the trash man took my branches, they took our trash bin with it.  Oopsies.

I cleared a space along our fence and prepared for our garden.  I did a little bit of research (more like I read online for about 30 minutes and decided I knew enough...), then headed to Lowe's.  This website is full of great tips!  Thanks to my hubs, I have an 8' x 2' square garden.  We layered potting soil, manure, and other soil we found in our shed.  A friend told me the marigolds help keep the squirrels and rabbits from eating our vegetables.  I'm thinking I'm a little pre-mature with that step... seeing as I'm only about 20% sure I'll have veggies for those little critters to much on.

One thing I wasn't so sure about (among about 100 others) is how many seeds to plant in each little hole.  I sprinkled about 5ish depending on size.  I'll let you know how that works out :)  I'm hoping this is the first of a few little posts on this garden.  Keep your fingers crossed!
